The Chicago White Sox have once again fumbled their chances to add prospects to their roster, as they chose to stand firm for the most part. The White Sox didn’t trade Luis Robert Jr., who is playing the best baseball he’s played all season, which is a head-scratcher.

The White Sox also chose to hang on to Aaron Civale, who they should’ve traded, but his struggles since becoming a White Sox likely decreased his value. The White Sox did trade a guy they needed to move, with Adrian Houser going to the American League East.

Chicago White Sox do make one big move amid a disappointing deadline

The White Sox had a disappointing deadline, failing to move most of the pieces they should have. Thankfully, the White Sox did trade Houser, with ESPN’s Jeff Passan reporting that they have traded Houser to the Tampa Bay Rays.

“The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring Adrian Houser from the White Sox, source tells ESPN.”

The name most significant coming back to the White Sox in exchange for Houser is 24-year-old Curtis Mead, a native of Australia. Mead hit .226/.318/.339 for an OPS and OPS+ of .657 and 85 in 49 games for the Rays.

A good move for the White Sox

The White Sox getting anything in return for Houser is a win, with him only signing with the team in May after signing a minor-league deal at the beginning of the season. Houser, in 11 starts for the White Sox, pitched to a 6-2 record with a 2.10 ERA in 68.2 innings.

The White Sox, even though they didn’t do much, still have to look forward to the second half, with their young guys leading the way. The White Sox, who were off today, will open a three-game series in Los Angeles versus the Los Angeles Angels tomorrow, with their starter TBD at the moment with Houser getting traded.
