White Sox seek rotation help without offering top prospects in trades

The Chicago White Sox are pursuing trades for starting pitching as the August 3 MLB trade deadline approaches. While they currently hold a 1.5 game lead in the AL Central with a 54-49 record, they face challenges in negotiations because they refuse to part with any top-10 prospects. This stance may hinder their ability to acquire quality pitchers. Despite their reluctance to trade key prospects, the White Sox remain open to taking on additional salary to facilitate trades. Potential targets include pitchers such as Kevin Gausman and Sandy Alcantara, but acquiring them without giving up top prospects presents a significant hurdle. The team aims to enhance their playoff contention while keeping future talent intact.
