Chicago White Sox starter Lucas Giolito is prime trade bait, and as a potential free agent on a losing team, he knows he could be in his final weeks on the South Side, PWSullivan writes.
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Iván Herrera reaches for a dropped ball as Chicago White Sox second baseman Zach Remillard strikes out in the eighth inning at Guaranteed Rate Field on July 8, 2023, in Chicago.
As much as Giolito would prefer to ignore the possibility when he takes the mound, he can’t completely shut those thoughts out of his mind. “I know that in the past when I was worried about things out of my control, I usually failed. It’s very important to separate those things and focus on my work, like my bullpen that I just did, and keeping my body in shape, keeping my mind right. Going out and performing the best I can, being a good teammate, those are things I can control.Giolito was coming off a poor season in 2022, posting a 4.90 ERA, and the sides never seemed to have any reason to get an extension done.
Whether the window of opportunity for the Sox to win could be closing with a sell-off is a question no one can answer.“You can look around and see the talent that’s going to be here,” Kopech said. “There may be some guys that may not be here with us, but we know right now they’re helping us. The collective group that we’ve had, we all know what we’re capable of. Unfortunately we haven’t lived up to those expectations that we hold ourselves to, but I think that’s still a very real possibility.
