With the trade deadline approaching, the White Sox made their first deal, sending outfielder Austin Slater to the Yankees for right-handed pitcher Gage Ziehl.  Slater, 32, was signed as a free agent last November and has five home runs in 123 at bats this season.  Ziehl, 22, was the Yankees’ fourth round pick in the 2024 draft and has split time between three levels in the Yankee system and is their 18th ranked prospect.

We have less than 29 hours to go until the deadline, so I expect there to be more moves, both by the White Sox and the Cubs, coming soon.
