3 White Sox Who Will Be Traded Long Before the Deadline
By Zoe Grossman
2. Paul DeJong
DeJong seems to have finally found his footing again in MLB, and his trade value has skyrocketed this past month. Since June 1, he has posted a 1.047 OPS with five home runs and 10 RBI while he leads the team in home runs (13), OPS (.780) and runs scored (28).
The 2019 All-Star had a turbulent last few seasons where he bounced around and struggled massively at the plate, but he's enjoyed a rebirth after signing a one-year deal with the White Sox.
DeJong has shown steady growth since the start of the season and his hot streak can only ensure that the Sox get a lot of value for him.
3. Tommy Pham
Pham has emerged as an offensive weapon for the White Sox this season, slashing .280/.331/.402 before going to the 10-day IL with an ankle issue on June 4.
A journeyman in his 11 MLB seasons, Pham is no stranger to adapting to new environments and he has plenty of playoff experience under his belt: he's a lifetime .313 postseason hitter in 120 plate appearances, which includes a .421/.429/.737 slash line in the World Series last season with the Diamondbacks.
The 36-year-old is set to return to the lineup soon and has reportedly generated interest from the NL-best Phillies.
