The Chicago White Sox have already made mentioned that they are in the mix for some pitching. Anyone great would certainly help but it would be extra nice if they got someone who is a very good starter in case of an injury or poor play.

One person whose name has been thrown around is Frankie of the Oakland A’s. They are in last place in the AL West and he seems to be on the block. Whether it’s now or in the offseason, it would definitely be a big-time trade.

The White Sox may or may not have the ability to get a trade for him done but they should really give it a try. Adding a big-time arm like that would make this pitching staff that much better.

If a deal were to get done between the White Sox and Athletics, it might end up looking something like this:

The Chicago White Sox would make so much sense for Frankie Montas right now.

The Chicago White Sox might be able to get Frankie Montas as a starting pitcher for the rest of the season. He was once a member of the White Sox before they traded him away a few years ago. That was a mistake that they would love to make up for.

Norge Vera, Jared Kelley, and Romy Gonzalez are all prospects that could be impactful players one day. In the case of Gonzalez, he has made his MLB debut and could come up and play some games for the rebuilding A’s.

Jake Burger is for sure an MLB-ready hitter that can bring a lot of power to a team. He is currently wrapping up a rehab assignment as he was bit by a pitch in the hand. When he returns to MLB, he will be ready to hit. The A’s would love a guy with that much power right now in a Montas trade.

The White Sox could give up power for a very good arm like Frankie Montas.

The Chicago White Sox would just love to have Frankie Montas back. With Lucas Giolito, Lance Lynn, Dylan Cease, Michael Kopech, and Johnny Cueto in the mix for the rotation, Montas would have the chance to be a key piece of a very solid group.

Kopech is on somewhat of an innings limit and both Lynn and Giolito have struggled at times. Having some stability would really go a long way for this team and Montas would provide that for them right away. He would certainly look good near Cease at the top of the rotation.

Because of that fact, giving up a guy like Oscar Colas would go a long way. The A’s can really use big time prospects like that as he looks like someone who could end up being a very good baseball player. He is going to make an impact one day but we have to wait and see if it will be with the Sox.

Gavin Sheets has some pretty nice power from the left side which is something that the White Sox sorely lack. However, giving him up for Montas would be a big deal. Oakland would like him for the same reasons that the White Sox do so it is something to consider if they want a pitcher like this.

The White Sox should consider someone like Frankie Montas this deadline.

The Chicago White Sox would look so much better on paper in terms of hitting if they acquired Frankie Montas. If they had to send over four pretty good players for him they should do it in a heartbeat. With the deadline just over 24 hours away, the A’s need to make this deal.

Yoelqui Cespedes is one of the team’s top prospects and someone that should be a pretty good MLB player one day. The A’s should know all about him as his older brother Yoenis was a great player for them. He could thrive playing for the team that his brother was so good with.

Jimmy Lambert has resurrected his career by pitching very well for the White Sox here in 2022. There were times where Tony La Russa came out a genius for using him because he has been so solid for most of the year. He could be valuable on the traded market.

Micker Adolfo needs a chance in Major League Baseball. Out of all White Sox prospects over the last few years, he has been the one given the least amount of chance for whatever reason. It is time that he gets a change of scenery.

For Seby Zavala, they need to get rid of a catcher anyway as they won’t carry three if they don’t have to. When the team is fully healthy, they might have to make a decision on one of these guys so trading Zavala could be big for them.

Montas is going to be traded and it is just a matter of when. If the White Sox want to be in on it, they might have to make one of these deals and maybe even add more on the return. It would be worth it.
