With the Rangers possibly looking to trade Jacob deGrom, the two-time Cy Young winner could be a target to consider for the White Sox on the trade market.
Noah Phalen of Southside Showdown argues that the Chicago White Sox should explore a trade for Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom. The proposal follows reports from Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News stating that Texas is expected to seek trade partners for both deGrom and infielder Corey Seager this offseason. Phalen suggests deGrom would provide experienced, high-upside starting pitching to fill out the White Sox rotation.
However, Phalen notes potential drawbacks, including deGrom turning 38 before Opening Day, a 2026 ERA of 4.20, and a contract paying him $37 million for 2027. He argues that Chicago general manager Chris Getz should only pursue a trade if Texas covers a significant portion of deGrom's remaining salary.
