The White Sox wrapped up the trade deadline action with two final moves: trading Eloy Jimenez and Tanner Banks.  Jimenez, the 27-year-old DH who was one of the centerpieces of the last rebuild, was sent packing to the Orioles, in a move that mostly gives the White Sox salary relief.  The team did receive Trey McGough, a 26-year-old left hander who has split time this season between the Double A and Triple A bullpens for the Orioles.

After a promising start to his career with the White Sox, Jimenez has suffered from repeated injuries and declining output ever since the 2021 season.  This year, he has been hampered by a left adductor strain and a left hamstring and has managed career lows in all three slash numbers.  Rumors abound about his commitment and preparation, or lack thereof, so maybe this will be the kick in the backside he needs to reboot his career.

Tanner Banks, 32, heads to the Phillies.  In return, the White Sox receive William Bergolla, a 19-year-old second baseman known for his strong bat-to-ball skills.  He was ranked as the 10th best prospect in the Phillies system by Baseball America
