The 2022 season has begun, but in this weird year, that doesn’t necessarily mean the offseason is over yet.
The Oakland A’s are “very close” to trading pitcher Frankie Montas to the Chicago White Sox, reports Mike Rodriguez of Univision on Monday evening. Nothing has been finalized or announced at this time as negotiations continue.
The connection between the two teams is not a new one. The White Sox were rumored to be one of many clubs interested in Oakland’s available starting pitchers last month, but they didn’t end up landing any of them, most recently missing out when Sean Manaea went to the Padres a week ago.
