The Chicago White Sox are considered the best trade option for San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee as the MLB trade deadline approaches. With.809 OPS, Lee, who has three years left on his contract after 2026, could address the White Sox's need for an experienced center fielder, as Tristan Peters has only a.802 OPS in 68 games. The Giants are reportedly willing to trade key position players to strengthen their roster. Analysts suggest acquiring Lee would significantly bolster the White Sox's playoff aspirations, as they aim for their first postseason appearance since 2021.
