The Winter Meetings were busy, but the White Sox left San Diego without starting pitching help and the number of free-agent pitchers is dwindling.
Sure, Dallas Keuchel and Hyun-jin Ryu are still available, but the rumor mill hasn’t connected the White Sox to those pitchers in a serious way. With the White Sox still looking for starting pitching help, the trade market is becoming a more likely avenue for the team to upgrade the rotation.
David Price has been coming up frequently in trade rumors because the Boston Red Sox are looking to cut payroll with a lot of big contracts on the books and good young players entering free agency in the coming years.
