The Chicago White Sox are predicted to pursue a trade for All-Star left-hander Seth Lugo from the Kansas City Royals. This move is aimed at strengthening their starting rotation as they aim for a potential postseason run.

The 36-year-old has a 3.69 ERA this season and is under contract for two more years. Such intra-division trades are uncommon, making this prediction noteworthy if it materializes.
