The White Sox have holes to fill prior to Friday’s trade deadline.
Second base has been an obvious need since Nick Madrigal’s hamstring injury ended his season, but acquiring at least one relief pitcher should be viewed as the more pressing need. This is certainly surprising given this group’s pre-season outlook. I would have never thought that a reliever would be need No. 1, but here we are.
Matt Foster was expected to regress, and has he ever. He’s given up twice as many hits and four times as many homers compared to last season.
