Eloy Jiménez Traded to Orioles in Blockbuster Deal Involving White Sox
Chicago Sends Star Outfielder to Baltimore for Top Prospects
Move Shakes Up AL Central Race
In a stunning move that shakes up the AL Central race, the Chicago White Sox have traded star outfielder Eloy Jiménez to the Baltimore Orioles for a package of top prospects, including infielder Gunnar Henderson and outfielder Colton Cowser.
Jiménez, 25, has been one of the White Sox's most productive hitters since his debut in 2019, batting .277 with 94 homers and 335 RBIs. However, he has also struggled with injuries, appearing in just 151 games over the last two seasons.
The Orioles, looking to build on their surprising 2022 campaign, believe Jiménez can be a key piece in their lineup, adding power and a strong bat to the heart of their order.
- Henderson, 21, is a highly touted infielder who was ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the Orioles' system by MLB Pipeline.
- Cowser, 22, is a former first-round pick who has shown promise as a hitter and defender.
The White Sox, meanwhile, are getting a package of young talent that could help them remain competitive in the years to come.
The trade is the latest in a series of moves by the White Sox to shake up their roster after a disappointing 2022 season that saw them miss the playoffs.
It remains to be seen how the trade will impact both teams in the long run, but it is sure to have a major impact on the AL Central race in 2023.
