The White Sox trade Eloy Jimenez to the Marlins in one of these 3 crazy trade packages
The Chicago White Sox are a rumor-filled team as we approach the MLB Trade Deadline. There are tons of players that have already been traded and more are going to come.
One player that has been involved in some rumors over the last day or so is Eloy Jimenez. He is a very talented hitter but he is often hurt and could help the Sox get something back in return.
One team that may be interested in him, according to reports, is the Miami Marlins. They have had a surprisingly good season so far and now they'd like to add the White Sox slugger.
Jimenez would fit right into their lineup as they try to get better at scoring more runs. If they acquired him, the trade package might look something like this:
Trade One

The Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins could make a risky trade.
Max Meyer is the number one prospect in the Miami Marlins system. It is an organization that is not very rich in prospects but Meyer is a very good player.
He is a right-handed pitcher and their only top-100 prospect so getting him for Jimenez would be a decent one-for-one deal.
If Eloy Jimenez could finally start to stay healthy with a change of scenery, this could end up being a very smart move by the Marlins.
As for the White Sox with this trade, prospects are always just prospects until they reach the big leagues and succeed. There is risk involved with both teams but this could be something they consider.
Trade Two

The White Sox and Marlins have options if they want to do this.
The Chicago White Sox could move Jimenez for multiple prospects but they might not carry as much weight as Max Meyer in terms of value.
However, Jake Eder, a left handed pitcher, is a very good player that the Miami Marlins believe in. He is currently playing in AA right now.
Jacob Miller, a right handed pitcher, is currently the number seven prospect in the system. He was their second round pick in 2022 and is 19 years old so there is a very long way to go for him.
Both of these guys could become good players one day but it is going to take some really good development.
The White Sox haven't shown the ability to do that very well lately but they have to start somewhere if they want to turn that narrative around.
Trading Jimenez for a couple of "maybes" isn't ideal but it might be what the White Sox are forced to do at this point.
Trade Three

The Chicago White Sox could try to shake things up in an Eloy Jimenez trade. They could trade one really good player that is often injured for another really good player that is often injured.
The difference between the two is that Jazz Chisholm Jr. fills an area of need for the White Sox. He can play other positions as well but the White Sox would certainly use him as a second baseman.
A move like this would make a lot of sense for both teams. Chisholm Jr. has family ties to Chicago as well which would make this very cool.
A native of the Bahamas, Jazz Chisholm Jr is a very good player that is so exciting to watch when he is fully healthy. He has the potential to be a game-changing talent in this game.
This is also a player that brings eyeballs. He is a very well liked player around the league as he plays the game that is attractive to the younger generation. He is on the cover of the current edition of MLB The Show for a reason.
It would be hard to see the White Sox trade Jimenez but if they can make the organization better, they should consider it.
