The Chicago White Sox have a few players that they should move on from before they fall off a cliff this season.

One of those players is 1B/OF Gavin Sheets. He is a left-handed power hitter who can be versatile when it comes to his defense.

A lot of teams would sign up for a player just like Sheets as they prepare to make a deep playoff run following the regular season.

Of everywhere that Gavin Sheets could go, these three trade packages make the most sense for him. They also make the most sense for the White Sox in terms of the return package:

Gavin Sheets would be great for the Boston Red Sox if he ended up there

The Chicago White Sox are not going to get top-100 MLB prospects back for Gavin Sheets but they could get a couple of players that help them win one day.

Allan Castro is currently listed as the number 12 prospect in the system for Boston. He is an outfielder looking to continue his development. He currently plays in A+ ball at 20 years old.

Nathan Hickey is a catcher who is ranked 16th in Boston's system. He is a little older (24) but he is playing in AAA already.

The White Sox would be wise to consider prospects like this. They could use depth in the outfield and at catcher over the years because those positions are always going to need filling.

Gavin Sheets going to the Baltimore Orioles makes a lot of sense

Gavin Sheets is very familiar with the Baltimore area as his dad played for the Baltimore Orioles back in the day. Now, it would be fitting for him to end up there all these years later.

Seth Johnson is the 10th overall prospect in their system at 25 years old. He is currently pitching in AA.

As for Thomas Sosa, the White Sox have had plenty of people named Sosa play for them before. Thomas Sosa is an outfielder who ranks 22nd in their system. He is a 19-year-old with a lot of room for improvement soon.

Both of these guys are risks but risks worth taking for Chris Getz and the White Sox. With some more development and a chance to succeed, they could become great baseball players.

The Seattle Mariners should consider someone like Gavin Sheets

sheets m's

Can you imagine if the Seattle Mariners traded for Gavin Sheets? It would be a good move for both sides. Sheets is looking to be on a good team and the White Sox are looking to take advantage of that fact with the nice start that he is having.

The Seattle Mariners would be a good trade partner for a variety of reasons. For one, Sheets would go to a team that has a chance to compete in the AL West.

Two, the White Sox may find some great prospects in return from a team like the M's. If that did happen, both sides would be so happy.

Aidan Smith is a 19 year old outfielder currently playing in A ball as their number 13 prospect. Ben Williamson is their number 15 prospect right now. He is a 23 year old third baseman playing in high-A.

All of the players that would come back in a Sheets trade are young and need a varying amount of development. That is where the White Sox are at right now though with their rebuild. We'll see how that goes.
