3 teams that make a ton of sense for Tim Anderson in 2024

The Chicago White Sox were an atrocious team in 2023. They finished with the fourth-worst record in Major League Baseball which is never where you want to be at any point.
One of many players that deserve some blame for this fact is Tim Anderson. He had an awful year and has dealt with one of the biggest falls from grace that a White Sox player has ever had.
There were rumors of his potential trade in 2023 but it never came to fruition. He stayed with the White Sox and now some decisions need to be made.
If the White Sox are going to trade Anderson during the off-season, these are the three teams that make the most sense for him:
1. Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins are a good team to consider for Tim Andeson.
The Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins made a big trade during the 2023 season. They sent Jake Burger to the Marlins and they ended up making the playoffs thanks to that move.
Now, both teams have had a GM change since the trade but that doesn't mean that Tim Anderson won't be a good fit there. He'd be great for them.
They have Luis Arraez playing second base and Jon Berti can play second, short, and third. Jazz Chisholm Jr. can be a centerfielder and both Burger and Jorge Soler can be designated hitters.
If they added someone like Anderson, they would add even more depth to this group that took a big step this year. Anderson had a bad year but they would be banking on a bounce back from him obviously. With that young fun team, it would be a good place for him.
2. Seattle Mariners
The Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners make sense for a trade.
The Seattle Mariners came up just short of the playoffs this season but they had a better record than any team in the AL Central Division. They need to make sure they do what they can to get back in the 2024 Postseason.
To do that, they need to make sure that they are amongst the best in the American League and they need to add more offense to get that done. Adding someone like Tim Anderson would be a great thing for them.
Anderson had a down year but it is hard to think that he won't bounce back at least a little bit. Seattle could use him as a second baseman, where Tim played during the World Baseball Classic, which would make sense for them with J.P. Crawford at shortstop.
Seattle needs another bat and that is what made Anderson good during his top years anyway. If he can come in and be a top slap hitter in the league, the Mariners would be able to score him way better than the White Sox could. It is something to consider.
3. Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers should have traded for Tim Anderson a while ago.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball and have been for a long time. They only have one World Series to show for it though (2020) so there is more work to be done.
We assume that they are going to be in on some of the big free agents this off-season. They were uncharacteristically inactive in that market last off-season so it makes you wonder if they are going for something big. Maybe a certain two-way player from down the road is someone they want.
They still might be looking for someone to come in and be a middle infielder this year. They should have added Anderson last year but they chose not to.
Since the departure of Corey Seager, they have needed someone to come in and be that guy full-time. We'll see if they make a move like that.
Watching Tim Anderson leave is not going to be very fun when/if it happens. There have been some amazing moments with him in the mix and now he is clearly not a part of the future. It has been tough to watch. Honestly, it is fair to hope that he finds his success again when he is moved.
