The Chicago White Sox could really boost their bullpen if they were to add another really good arm. The Toronto Blue Jays could make Ken Giles available.

The Chicago White Sox potential starting lineup is well known. They believe that with players like Tim Anderson, Eloy Jimenez, Yoan Moncada, Jose Abreu, and Luis Robert amongst others, they are going to have a great lineup. They need to make sure that they have the pitching necessary to protect all of those runs that they’re going to score. If they get that then they will win a lot of baseball games.

The pitching is seemingly set for whenever the season gets going but it wouldn’t hurt to look at ways to still improve the team. Lucas Giolito is going to be the ace and Dallas Keuchel is going to be the number two. The order of the rest could go in many different ways. Alex Colome is going to be the closer but the rest of the relievers can go in many different orders depending on how the games go. There is still a lot left up in the air.

With that said, they could still add some more arms. Adding a guy like Ken Giles would be a really smart move for the Chicago White Sox. He could come in and add another really solid arm to this bullpen that already has some good arms. He is on a contract that is expiring and he will be a free agent in 2021. That is why it would be smart for the White Sox to bring him in early and try and get him signed. If the Toronto Blue Jays are out of it midseason, they could be looking to move him. These are three good trade packages to get Giles on the south side:
