The 2025 MLB trade deadline has passed and the Chicago White Sox were less active than most expected.
Despite currently sitting in last place in the American League central, the White Sox only made a couple trades, sending OF Austin Slater to the New York Yankees, and RHP Adrian Houser to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Some of the lack of activity may be due to not having as many desirable trade chips as some other sellers, but USA Today’s Bob Nightengale provided another possible explanation during an interview on Friday.
