The August 2nd trade deadline is fast approaching and the White Sox are looking to up their pitching game.
It’s time to face the music. The Chicago White Sox have had anything but a good season. That being said, there is always room for improvement, and with the trade deadline coming up in five days, that time to set that improvement in motion is now.
The White Sox aren’t discussing the possibility of trading Lucas Giolito or Lance Lynn. They are 3 games back in the AL Central and are encouraged by their 14-10 record in July. Team officials believe they can win the division. @MLBNetwork @670TheScore

Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito aren’t going anywhere for right now on the team, and the Sox have made that very clear despite their poor performance, which can easier be blamed on the entire club this season. With most things falling short, dealing with injuries certainly hasn’t helped either.
