With the White Sox in seller mode and already dealing away pending free agents, teams are also inquiring about some longer-term players. According to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score, the Brewers and Marlins have both shown interest in outfielder Eloy Jimenez, who is under contract through at least the 2024 season (and controllable through 2026 via two club option years).
There isn’t any indication that Jimenez is being shopped, and reports earlier this month suggested that Jimenez was one of four players (along with Luis Robert Jr., Dylan Cease, and Andrew Vaughn) as virtually untouchable. It is therefore possible that the interest from Milwaukee and Miami was simple due diligence, just in case the Sox were becoming more open to the idea of a wider-scale rebuild.
The White Sox haven’t been solely trading rental players, as Kendall Graveman (dealt yesterday to the Astros) is still under contract through 2024. But needless to say, moving Jimenez would be quite a different situation, as Chicago would be parting ways with a cornerstone player. The Sox signed Jimenez to his six-year, $43MM deal in March 2019 before he had even made his MLB debut, speaking to the confidence the front office had in the outfielder’s potential to lead the club into a new era of winning.
While the club’s on-field success has been limited, Jimenez has held up his end of the bargain at the plate. His .285/.328/.478 slash line over 293 plate appearances this season is pretty close to his overall career line over 1581 PA, but Jimenez’s problem has been just getting onto the field. A ruptured left pectoral tendon cost him over half of the 2021 campaign, and he missed two months of the 2022 season due to a hamstring injury. In 2023, Jimenez has missed roughly a month due to both another minor hamstring issue and an appendectomy.
Jimenez’s lack of defensive value is another issue, as he has posted generally below-average grades as a left fielder. With a number of DH days also required to keep him healthy, there is concern that Jimenez might already be trending towards being a DH-only player before his 27th birthday. This being said, there is still obvious reason why the Brewers, Marlins, or any number of teams would be interested in adding a young, above-average hitter to their lineups, especially at his price point. Jimenez is owed $13MM in 2024, and there are $3MM buyouts both his 2025 club option ($16.5MM) and 2026 option ($18.5MM).
Christian Yelich has been locked into Milwaukee’s left field position, so the Brewers could either test Yelich or Jimenez in right field in the event of a trade. The likelier possibility is that the Brewers would just use Jimenez primarily as a DH, adding some thump to a lineup that has struggled to generate offense this season.
Despite the lack of pop, the Brewers have ridden solid pitching (and a somewhat weak division) to first place in the NL Central. The Brew Crew already picked up Carlos Santana from the Pirates to help address first base, and Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report that the Brewers also have interest in Mets outfielder Mark Canha.
The Marlins are similarly hanging in the wild card race without much lineup, particularly in the power department. With Jorge Soler playing mostly as a DH, Miami is more apt to use Jimenez as a left fielder. This might create something of a logjam once Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns from the injured list, but that’s a problem the Marlins are probably happy to have if it means having more offensive options in play.
Jimenez is not going to be traded this year.
Likely true, but the article did point out that the Brewers and Marlins were likely just checking in to see if there were any possibility. When Juan Soto was traded to the Padres, that also wasn’t seen as too likely until it came closer to the deadline and the nationals decided to take a deeper rebuild. Virtually untouchable just means that they’d likely have to really get an offer they liked. That being said. I don’t know about the marlins farm much, but I doubt the brewers have pieces beyond the prospects they’d rather not move, to get a deal done.
Bentendi can get him or Sheets to play LF or RF and Kopech in deal Marlins.
If the Brewers dangled a Tyler Black for Jimenez the White Sox should jump all over it. This team isn’t winning anything next season. They’ve done a solid job restocking their farm with these deals so far. I don’t trust the Org to develop players but they have them in the system now.
Tyler Black is a top 100 prospect that plays above average defensive at 3b/2b/rf/lf. Agreed that would be interesting.
The Sox would want an outfielder not an infielder I can see the brewers dangling 1 of frelick, Wiemer or Mitchell the Sox would want one of those guys more than likely Frelick
I doubt you get Frelick for 2 expensive years of Jiminez.
Sox need players. I don’t see a 2B on the squad. Black is versatile anyways.
The White Sox did a solid job of going from a 29th ranked farm to 28th.
The White Sox have added 5 prospects to their top 30, 4 of which are in their top 15.
I don’t know where you came up with 29th to 28th but that’s nonsense. They have clearly improved their system quite a bit.
It was a joke cards. It’s Saturday. Lighten up a bit
I don’t think it was a joke at all. Some of these people are clueless.
It was a joke Francis. It was more of a comment on how bad their system was prior to the trades
It was a bad system prior to the trades. But they made those trades, probably going to make more, and their system has improved a great deal. Why joke like it hasn’t? That’s not funny. Give them credit for doing the right thing for their franchise.
Oh for the love of Pete
sorry…MiLB and prospect rankings are SUPER IMPORTANT! All prospects pan out…right?
Credit for what? Are you serious this Organization is Clueless.
Credit that’s laughable, this Organization is Clueless.
I think the White Sox have done really well in their trades so far.
I’m a Brewers fan; there’s pretty much zero chance the White Sox would trade Luis Robert for Tyler Black. For one thing, Tyler Black doesn’t have a good defensive position. He’s also hit over power. The White Sox would ask for a lot more than Tyler Black (who I like)
@King of Cards Jesus give it a rest man.
You’re obsessing that they got a few prospects, have fun with that.
Just weird man.
Obsessing?
Give them credit. That’s all I said. What do you care?
They don’t deserve credit for anything.
Lol you love watching Eloy grimacing and jogging everytime he gets the bat on the ball haha that’s humorous
Lol. Black for Jimenez? Don’t know why the Brewers don’t just call up Black to be DH vs paying a DH 15per option or honestly picking up Eloy as a rental and buying out the overpay options.
Somewhere around a teams 15th-30 ranked prospects 1 being a lotto player is all he’s worth.
Eloy Jimenez is who the Brewers asked about. Robert plays OF. Don’t need him now that Frelick is playing.
Eloy should not cost a Brewers top 10 prospect with the cost of those options as a DH. That good ol trade value site thinks Jimenez is a negative value. Hendry Mendez is the best you’d see.
There are actual metrics like WRC+ that will tell that Jimenez has always been an above average MLB hitter. In more than one instance, he has been a top 50 MLB hitter by measure of this statistic. Stop using a trade value site to determine if a player is negative value.
Yeah I get it’s probably flawed thinking he’s a platoon bat vs a regular bat who just misses half a season yearly.
Just from the Brewers perspective when arguing what prospect it should cost to acquire, like that trade value site, they’ll point out how often he doesn’t play and that trading Eloy is just a salary dump contract Crew are taking on. Anybody above A+ ball is off the table.
Andrew Vaughn is untouchable? Why?
He’s only 25 and controllable until 2027.
He’s finally settled in the 1st base position this season after getting bounced around a couple of seasons. Numbers are not all that impressive at the plate but tolerable. Remember, Vaughn didn’t get much minor league experience so he’s been learning and getting his experience at the major league level. Now, if the Southsiders blow it all up then sure. Try to make a trade. Elroy on the other hand is a DH. Pure and simple. I would like to see what Eloy can do offensively with good health and around 600 plate appearances.
Not sold on Vaughn. Yea I get the reasons provided, but he settled in to first this season and has done worse, not better. Plus, he is short for a first baseman, and you cannot have a guy with no range at first, especially when guys like Moncada and Anderson are throwing at him eventually he is going to get hurt just trying to keep his foot on the bag while getting an errant throw from those two. I would much rather see Sheets get the rest of the year at first to see what he has if he gets ‘settled’ into the first base position.. Especially if Vaughn is nursing that bone bruise still. And if Sheets cannot hack it there? He will be known as a rather large pinch hitter/sometimes OF then and Vaughn is back there. Now is the time for the Sox to really see what they have in terms of talent as there is nothing to really play for at this point, other than pride.
Gurriel had better players throwing at him. I do agree that teams need to stop having guys out of position. Heck I saw Frank and Ozzie talking about how Moncada needs to play second again and keep Burger at 3rd.. Now, Im not sure where Frank and Ozzie got their head injuries to forget that the Sox tried this and Moncada was horrific at 2nd base (and fairly sure his bat suffered as well, but he needs to stay at third) Burger has not looked bad yest at second, and lets be honest, he’ll be back at third once Moncada is injured again.
I think most good teams do not play ‘musical chairs’ with a third to half of their lineup the way the Sox seem to.
Too short for a first baseman. Now I’ve heard it all. And many first basemen have limited range. It’s the place they put guys who can hit but have fielding limitations, obviously.
Vaughn rates as one of the worst defensive players in the league and is an average hitter when he’s going well. That type of player is very replaceable.
@mattv
Exactly.
Everyone was all like “oh now he’ll be at his best position and you all will see how good he is” heard that all off-season on the athletic and I kept saying “yeah wait it’s gonna be a clown show”.
Aaaand guess who was right?
He’s brutal.
Lol you love watching Eloy grimacing and jogging everytime he gets the bat on the ball haha that’s humorous
In the White Sox defense with Vaughn and Abreu, 2020 was supposed to be the start of their competitive window. If that when they viewed their best chance to start competiting at, then why would they trade a guy who just won MVP (albiet in a shortened season), and has been their most consistent producer for years? Imo, it would have made more sense for them to trade Vaughn in 2020 or 2021, not Abreu.
Wouldn’t it be innovative to build a team that is without fielding limitations? I say purge all the guys that can’t run or catch and start investing in pitching…. This front office doesn’t value speed or defense, and for years they have consistently beat themselves in the field and on the bases. There needs to be very few exceptions to this speed/defense prerequisite. Vaughn is no Manny Ramirez.
Because the White Sox FO is detached from reality. They banked on him way too much, and they’ll be damned if he finally finds success somewhere else.
Why would anyone on their whole roster be untouchable? U get the best prospects for the best players. The returns coming in are decent but not going to put the white sox back in contention for 24. So unload the whole team and start a new. Let the feature of the future be the returns for Robert and cease
Trade Eloy for something good.
Get a reliable OF position player.
Kenny? Is this you?
Jimenez is highly overrated; due to an extensive yearly injury record, he’s essentially a highly paid part time, DH-type player, who sometimes hits and cannot run.
He’s injury prone and atrocious on the defensive end. He’s a good hitter when healthy but won’t be shocked if those option years are not picked up by white Sox or whoever trades for him.
I know Eloy gets hurt a lot but if they trade him now this team will pretty much just be saying FU to the fans. Eloy and Luis Robert are the only guys who are fun to watch everyday.
Robert is a “me first” player. He doesn’t play team defense. He’s slow to back up plays. He leads the team in solo home runs. His stats are hollow. Good contract, but I don’t see the WS living up to expectations with him being the face of the franchise.
“He leads the team in solo home runs.”
Lmao what. It’s his fault nobody is on base when he hits a home run?
Yeah it’s Robert’s fault the guy
struck out
grounded out
flyed out
got caught stealing
picked off 1st
before he hit a home run.
What a selfish player, hitting home runs when no one else is on base.
How dare he try and score runs.
He should go for the double just barely off the wall.
Just as exciting so he gets the attention like a selfish player wants but the team doesn’t get any runs so the attention is just on him.
Lol he also leads the team in home runs
I think you have Robert mixed up with Moncada (sans home runs). I think at some point, likely when Robert reportedly forgot the bench coaches name (around the same time as his failure to report an injury) earlier this season he has been a different player (not sure who talked to him or woke him up, Grifol or someone else). As for solo homers, like Foxtrot… notes, hard to hit multi run homers if guys are not on base. and, lets be honest, failure to drive runs in is on this whole team, which leads me to believe it, like a lot of other faults with this club, is a coaching issue.
As for the other issues, he is also young still, and obviously has his youthful moments, but nothing a good manager and coaching staff cannot fix (When the Sox actually get one of those again it will be amazing).
Robert will be fine, he still is a true 5 tool player, unless Moncada’s ‘five tool’ status.(he really is just ‘a’ tool at this point)
If you can hit like Robert, then they’re not going to worry too much about his “team defense.” Lol
A Gold Glove is a Gold Glove…..team or individual? How do you discern?
@denny816: Not trying to win is a much bigger FU to fans. Eventually putting a winning team on the field is more important than holding on to any individual player.
At this point, the FU to fans has nothing to do with what the existing front office does with the existing players. If Reinsdorf is going to continue to run things in such a way that on-field results don’t matter, then it doesn’t matter if any of these players stay or go. The front office is not capable of building a successful product that competes year after year. That’s a hard fact. Guys like Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn need to go. As long as loyalty to those guys is more important to Jerry Reinsdorf than the on-field product, he’ll continue to give the FU to the fans.
Reinsdorf’s been waving a finger at Sox fans since 1981 – SEVEN playoff appearances in 40 years. Meanwhile the small market Rays have 7 playoff appearances in the past 12 years… and they’ve only existed since 1998 LOL.
Just #SellTheTeam, Jerry.
Not if you get a haul. They are in excellent position to get an overpay for a couple players.. Probably now is their players highest trade value..Dodgers, Orioles and others have deep farm systems and are ready to go all in..
He wants to be an OF (and also stressed that to management), not really ‘out of position’ in his opinion (now Sheets and Vaughn, those guys are/were very much out of position). Where would you suggest he play, Shortstop? Second? Catcher? They already have 2 first basemen on the club, and you were just espousing how great Vaughn can be, and I think they tried him at first and it did not go over very well, so what position should he be at (other than DH of course)?
When Eloy, Sheets, and Romy is your plan for right field you have a problem. Trading for Pollock and signing Benintendi show how incompetent the front office is because neither play RF. Desperation pickups like Brian “kick rocks” Goodwin and Clint Frazier have been used to address these obvious holes in the defense. Trace Thompson is your latest installment.

and some of those came from just swinging the bat and running the base paths.
I don’t want him.
That’s a lame list. You are bending the truth to try and win the internet.
Yes he has an injury history. But that list is garbage.
Jeez…U got eloys signed hippa form ??
Maybe you can answer this ? I wonder who has the most at bats and how many since Eloy had his first of 1581 ?
Even in this inflated market he ain’t worth 13, 16 or 18 mil so if u know anything about how the white sox are ran – you could see why they’d classify him as untouchable. Lmao
I don’t think Jiminez is worth squat. I just don’t like someone trying to bend the truth to win an argument.
Look at Jiminez’ career WAR per season and what he makes moving forward. That tells me he isn’t worth much at all. Not some silly made up injury list.
Eloy has a 6.0 WAR over 5 years. Not exactly what I’d consider an “untouchable” player. It’s also unlikely he’ll be healthier as he ages. If they don’t trade Eloy, that’s another blunder.
The roster is loaded with guys that can’t play defense. Until that changes, they aren’t fun to watch.
Eloy had a career WAR of 6, only the White Sox would consider him as an “untouchable” player and only sites like this would refer to him as a “cornerstone”. Right now it would be a stretch to pick up a 16.5 million dollar option on him.
I get why Robert is a guy they want to hang onto another year, but the other three…
Cease 1 good year, and 4 with an ERAs of 4.15, 3.91, 4.01, 5.79. That’s that ace of the staff.
Vaughn, in 3 seasons, has a WAR of 0.3.
Eloy has a WAR of 0.7 this season coming off a supposed otherworldly conditioning program that positioned him to break out.
“hurt like once”? WTF are you talking about?
I’m not a fan of moving him right now, but he IS hurt all the time.
What’s his position DH?
“Hurt like once”..You lose much credibility when you say “injured once”. Telling lies is a major loss of credibility.
Once a month you don’t watch Sox games after that statement.
White Sox are having a clearance sale…everything must go!
Jimenez isn’t likely to be traded though. As the article said, Brewers and Marlins were likely just checking in to see if he’d be available. I doubt the talks got very deep.
Jimenez = highly overrated. I think the Sox probably keep him & Moncada just to save face and not publicly admit just how badly they assess,develop, draft, sign and rate players.
That’s not fair. They did a tremendous job of scouting and signing Tatis Jr.
Owners 1st.
Anyone who wants him will have to overpay and considering he’s basically a DH with a inability to stay healthy not sure he’s worth a overpay
I’m pretty sure by overpay he means they’d have to surrender a good haul of prospects, and probably higher ones than they’d like to part with, just to get the white Sox to make the deal.
“Doesn’t care about millions”…Billionaires in general are cheap and don’t like to waste their money. At some point they expect VALUE for their dollars. It’s how they got rich.
You obviously never heard of Jerry Reinsdorf.
Hey, I am looking for my boy Elroy Jetson!!!
Wow, I didn’t realize that he has stayed on the field for such a small percentage of the time. The most games he has been in was his rookie season at 122 contests. None of the other seasons even 100.
Maybe I assumed that everyone was already aware of the shortened season because of something called COVID, but it doesn’t change the fact that he has only played in 100 games or more once in his career.
“Yeah and in 2020”..You’re almost certainly a paid propagandist. You make some of the most ridiculous, ludicrous points, bro.
If it includes 2 players in either organizations top 5 prospects…I’m having that conversation with serious consideration. Eloy’s ceiling is still very high if he can stay healthy..
If they can get anything of value for Eloy the Ouchy Clown, and they refuse to pull the trigger, then they are dumber than a bag of hammers.
Other teams actually showing interest in that goof is a blessing in an otherwise cursed season.
Talent is there, its just the health, and honestly I think these guys get a hangnail and call it a day. Grifol erred and said ‘I told him to slow down’ after Jimenez tweaked his groin muscle, I think what he really meant was sometimes you do have to play through the issues in a major league season which is a lot longer than seasons they have been used to..
He has been primarily a DH this season, and he was running down the line when he messed up his hamstring, same with this latest groin muscle issue. The guy is a walking injury. To be fair this is also on their conditioning staff. If you know the guy is a chandelier he should be in the trainers room every day getting limber or working on a conditioning routine. Soft tissue injuries should not be happening at the clip they have been on this Sox club since Schneider retired.
He’s a stooge. He’s sitting there giggling with opponents and waving to his mommy while the team gets thumped.
And it’s OK to “blame a guy for being hurt” when he is hurt in perpetuity.
Go learn something about baseball. Meanwhile, don’t interrupt grown folks.
White Sox certainly should be open to trading Eloy and Cease. However they should consider those moves in the offseason when the market/bidding will be more robust.
I think both of these guys stay through next mid season at earliest.as the Sox FO will see if they can right the ship this off season (which I doubt if the whole coaching and FO staff stay the same)
Other teams have more options in the off season, what with FAs and trades from all teams. If you can get a haul from a team desperate at the deadline, then do it. That’s what the Brewers did with Hader last year. It hurt the team short-term, but now is looking like the right move.
Carlos Lee version 2.0 for the Brewers. Can’t wait for that.
As long as we don’t trade him and a promising prospect to another team for a package return like Fransisco Cordero (who at that time was a struggling commodity) Kevin Mench, Laynce Nix and another player that I can’t even remember, we’ll be okay. As much of a Podsednik fan as I was, I never hated the trade for Lee, but man did I always feel like we got robbed giving up Lee and Nelson Cruz for THAT return
the fourth player was RP Julian Cordero
Eloy is a DH who hasn’t lived up to the hype. Obviously, with his affordable contract, you don’t give him away. You also don’t make a DH a cornerstone of the team going forward. I doubt he’s at peak value, but if you don’t like what you hear, wait to hear next trade market.
Chris Young better be in on him too if he is available.
Love all the arm chair GMs on here saying “no chance this guy or this guy gets traded”
Acting like they have the slightest bit of insight into the thinking of front offices lol
I think, like a lot of the Sox players, there is potential. Get Jimenez on a team with a conditioning/training staff worth a damn and maybe he stays healthy enough to DH for 120-130 games in a season (I mean he will likely still get hurt, but I’m guessing a good staff can minimize the instances). I think its also a question of toughness (yeah yeah cue the gym coach comments) but some of these injuries these guys may be able to play through, but do not. One telling injury was when the Sox were in a pivotal series last season (I think it was against the Twins), and Eloy ‘swung wrong’ and left the game (arguably when they needed his bat the most), only to be back in the lineup the next day. Now maybe that is just the culture today, but typically guys are not at 100% even midway through the season and it seems like the Sox players are always on the DH with soft tissue injuries (many which really should not occur if you are an athlete and rely on your performance to make money).
Who says no. Jackson Chourio for Luis Robert jr
Signed thru 2025, 6 yrs/$50M (20-25) & 26-27 team option
Are you crazy, is that your problem?
The brewers laugh, hang up and then laugh for a few hours at the bar after.
Jackson Chourio for Luis Robert jr. Signed thru 2025, 6 yrs/$50M (20-25) & 26-27 team option
Which team says no
Chourio is 19 years old and untouchable. He’s got the same upside and will be up next year. Can’t imagine why the Brewers would trade him for the more expensive option. Similar skill set.
I’d say yes if I was brewers. Robert over next couple seasons will be much better than Chourio and they have a legit window !
Problem is – fans want their teams to win it all but most teams want to just stay competitive. So brewers will pass bc of that
Robert doesn’t fill the biggest hole for the brewers. The brewers needs were help at the corners and a DH. They already have multiple CF’s playing in the OF along side Yelich.
I’m a Sox fan. I’d trade the guy because he can pull a hamstring walking up the tunnel to the dugout. The Sox have some depth at DH with Gavin Sheets from the left side and Jake Burger from the right side, Neither one of those players are all-star defenders.. This “rebuild” has been a joke. Seven years ago they traded off their most valuable assets for prospects that never developed and now they are trading them off.. The ownership is a joke. The front office is a joke. So why not get rid of an inconsistent, injury plagued player while you can when their is no chance at being competitive now or in the immediate future.
You talk about Burger’s and Sheets’ defense but they look just as bad as everyone else. 3 errors a piece for them. Moncada, Zavala, and Remillard all have 3 as well. Anderson and Andrus both have 8. Grandal and Robert both have 2. Funny thing is Eloy has played 100 innings in RF without any errors. I rather have Burger in the field then Moncada.
Errors are only part of the equation, especially in the outfield. But infield defensive chances compared to outfield chances are apple and oranges.
DRS (defensive runs saved) and OAA (outs above average) come much closer to defining a players defensive ability.
Also 109 innings is just 12 games. Yet, Eloy is already -2 DRS and -1 OAA. That’s terrible.
I think you and Benetti are the only people on the planet that attempt to defend Eloy’s defense.
I’m not really defending his defense. I think he is a DH who at worst could probably fill in to give someone an off day. I just think it’s funny he gets thrown into a new position and been fine.
Luis Robert : Signed thru 2025, 6 yrs/$50M (20-25) & 26-27 team option

CWS don’t even pick up the phone…
Brewers wouldn’t even make the phone call
Eloy Jimenez is highly overrated; due to extensive, yearly injuries, he’s essentially a highly paid, part time, DH type player who gets injured whenever he runs full speed. I’m not sure why any team would consider him “untouchable”.
All this WS “untouchable” stuff is ridiculous; hopefully, the White Sox are just playing chess and trying to drive up the trading price of their players. If they truly feel they have all these “untouchable” players on a last place team in the worst division in MLB, their front office is most likely insane or on serious mind-bending drugs.
They are not last place, give KC the respect they deserve, it’s really hard to be THAT bad.
If Vaughn and Sheets are the future 1B- why is Grandal playing 1B the last couple of games? Showcasing him / or just don’t want him behind the plate?
Because Vaughn was injured and no one trusts Sheets to start a game. Also Pedro doesn’t believe a catcher needs to be on the bench. He plays 2 all the time. He used 3 about every game when Perez was up.
Both teams are also interested in Jose Jimenez…
imho Eloy would do well on a team like the Brewers (or Rays) that swap guys in and out regularly. He needs days off here and there to minimize his injury risk. In other words he’d be overall healthier on a team with some half-decent depth behind him, which is something the White Sox never ever have.
You only acquire Eloy if the price is right and also if you accept the fact that he is a DH and a DH only because if you put him in the field you’ll be putting him on the shelf
All I heard last year was how great the White Sox would be without that alcoholic has-been Tony LaRussa as manager. What is the excuse this season?
In regards to Gavin Sheets status, he is extremely overrated by Sox management. Terrible fielder, not much of a hitter. 2b replacement is a must. Nobody in minors ready for that spot. Remliard is a utility at best. Elvis , enough said. Ready for Montgomery at SS. Anderson is a mess. Look forward to the new catchers.
How many corner OFs do the Marlins need?
