The Chicago White Sox have tons of rumors swirling! Things are crazy in Major League Baseball right now with the trade deadline coming up quickly.
The August 1st deadline is going to be fun and the White Sox are in it as sellers. It would be nice to see them as buyers because that would mean the team is good but that is just not the reality of the situation.
Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez have already been sent to the Los Angeles Angels. Lance Lynn is surrounded by trade rumors as well and should be moved in short order.
Now, it is Tim Anderson who has rumors about specific teams being in on him. The Miami Marlins, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, are looking at him. If a trade were to get done between these two, it might look something like this:
Trade One

The Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins could pull off a simple trade.
If you don't think Tim Anderson is going to fetch the Chicago White Sox much, then they shouldn't trade him.
What is the point of trading him now if he can't even get the White Sox a halfway decent prospect back in return?
Jacob Amaya is a shortstop in the Miami Marlins system so this would be a one-for-one deal swapping shortstops at different levels.
Amaya is the number eight prospect in the Miami Marlins' system. He has a high ceiling and could be in Major League Baseball full-time soon.
Right now, he is sitting in AAA waiting for that opportunity to reach the next level. Obviously, if the White Sox traded Tim Anderson away, there would be a spot at the shortstop position opening up. That is something for both sides to consider.
Trade Two

Tim Anderson makes a lot of sense for the Miami Marlins at this stage.
Did you ever think we'd be talking about Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Tim Anderson ending up on the same roser? Yes, because Chisholm Jr. made so much sense for the Chicago White Sox.
However, it now makes so much more sense for them to be teammates together in Miami. Chisholm is on the Injured List right now but he should be back soon enough.
These two, along with some of the other amazing players in Miami, would be so fun to watch. The talent is piling up there and that is why they are having a nice season so far.
Joe Mack is a catching prospect. The Chicago White Sox just got one of those in the Lucas Giolito trade but they should try and stockpile them.
Hitting on one or two would be so huge for them in the next couple of years. It has not been a position of strength in the organization lately.
Ian Lewis is the number 12 prospect in the Marlins system right now and he can play both second and third base.
It is going to take a couple of years for him to have a chance at Major League Baseball but it could get done eventually. Guys like that are fun to watch develop.
Trade Three

Tim Anderson doesn't have to go in this trade to the Marlins alone.
The Chicago White Sox threw a good reliever, Reynaldo Lopez, in with Lucas Giolito to get a better return from the Los Angeles Angels.
They could do that again here with this Tim Anderson trade. Joe Kelly is a very nice pitcher that could go with Anderson to Miami to help them with their push for the playoffs.
That might help the Chicago White Sox get better prospects. Jacob Berry is the number two prospect in the system of Miami right now. He currently plays third base and is expected to reach the big leagues in a few years.
As for Dax Fulton, he is the number three prospect in their system right behind Berry. He is a left-handed pitcher that could join the White Sox rotation or bullpen as soon as next year. It is a deal worth considering because of the upside.
Again, the White Sox should not trade Tim Anderson just to trade him. He has a lot more value for a team than that. However, if the price is right, he should be gone along with a lot of players on this very bad baseball team.
