The Chicago White Sox need some pitching. They are going to be in the market for just about all of the free-agent pitchers until they get one or two of them. The one that they were the most connected to so far this winter is Zack Wheeler. The issue is that Wheeler has signed a five year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies that is worth 118 million dollars. That is a lot of money and he is going to be a big part of what they are trying to do in the AL East.
The Phillies missed the playoffs as the Atlanta Braves won their division and the Washington Nationals took their Wild Card berth all the way to a World Series title.
