The White Sox send Eloy Jimenez to the Brewers in one of these 3 packages
The Chicago White Sox are not a good baseball team. They consistently lose games and there are a lot of different reasons for it.
As a result of this, players are starting to get traded away. Now, there are still a few more trades that could be completed in the coming days (or even hours).
One name that is gaining some traction is Eloy Jimenez. He very well could be on the move soon even though the thought was that he was one of the non-tradable pieces.
Well, expect the unexpected. The Milwaukee Brewers are one of the teams that could be interested in Jimenez according to the report earlier from Bruce Levine of 670 The Score.
If the White Sox traded him to their friends to the north in Milwaukee, the deal might look something like this:
Trade One

The Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers are good trade partners.
Eloy Jimenez would fit in very well with the Milwaukee Brewers. As they try to hang onto a playoff spot in the National League Central, they could use a powerful bat like his.
Eric Brown Jr. is the number six prospect in the Milwaukee system. He is their best prospect ranked outside of the MLB's top 100. There is a lot of hope that he will become a very good player one day at shortstop.
Robert Moore is the number eight prospect in the system of the Brewers right now and he has a future at either second base or shortstop depending on his development.
If he came to the White Sox and was a good player, it is fair to guess that it would be at second base. It is a risky trade but one that could work out in the end.
Trade Two

The Chicago White Sox should try to get a haul for Eloy Jimenez.
Eloy Jimenez has shown the ability to be an elite bat in the past. He should continue to be a very productive hitter in this league for a long time.
As a result, the White Sox should not trade him for nothing. In fact, it should be a package they can't refuse in order to get it done. If it isn't that kind of package, Rick Hahn should hang up the phone.
Sal Frelick is the number two prospect in the Milwaulee Brewers organization and they think very highly of him as an outfielder.
As for Tyler Black, he is a guy that could play third base, second base, or the outfield. His versatility is very nice.
The cool thing about these two is the fact that both of them are top-100 MLB prospects. Frelick is the 17th ranked and Black is the 94th guy. A return like that wouldn't be half bad.
Trade Three

The Chicago White Sox have some thinking to do before Tuesday.
The Chicago White Sox probably don't want to actually trade Eloy Jimenez. His injury history and the fact that the team isn't good could easily force their hand but they don't want to.
However, a package like this would be hard to think about. Jackson Chourio is the number one prospect in Milwaukee's system and the number two prospect in all of baseball.
Getting a guy like that is great for a player like Jimenez who is always hurt. Is Chourio as good as Jimenez when both are healthy? That remains to be seen but it is an option to consider.
Justin Jarvis is their number 30 prospect and might not be a Major League Baseball player but it never hurts to acquire a guy like that.
After a tough weekend series for them, it would be nice to see them add some offense. Eloy Jimenez can help them do that in bunches as long as he stays healthy. It is possible that they do a better job keeping him healthy because they are smart.
