Locked On White Sox - Daily Podcast On The Chicago White Sox

The White Sox shipped off Jake Burger to Miami and Keynan Middleton to NY then lost to the Rangers, 2-0. It perhaps was not the bombshell that fans were waiting for but it still was a surprise. Jake Burger has quite the backstory and has battled from multiple injuries to get to where he's at in 2023. Burger has seemingly unlimited power but the Sox did not know what to do with him. There's a jog jam at nearly every position he could play in 2024 so the Sox moved him for a left-handed pitching prospect. Keynan Middleton has been electric out of the bullpen for the Sox and there is no reason to hold onto such a valuable asset when you are going nowhere as a team. After the deadline dust settled, the Sox were blanked by the Texas Rangers and dropped to 22 games under .500. The next two months will be very difficult for White Sox fans.
