The Chicago White Sox, currently 2nd in the American League with a 47-45 record, lost 1-2 to the Boston Red Sox on July 9, and are now on a L3 streak.
The White Sox are hanging on to their position in the AL Central by a thread and need to add to their roster to fend off the Guardians.
The team's bullpen has been a concern, and acquiring Mason Miller could be the solution.
Mason Miller is a star closer who could bring a high-level return to the San Diego Padres if traded.
The White Sox, Cubs, and Brewers are potential landing spots for Miller.
The Cubs' closer, Daniel Palencia, has missed substantial time due to injury, and the team needs a reliable late-game reliever.
The White Sox would need to offer a significant package to acquire Miller, potentially including top prospects.
The team's current standing and recent loss to the Red Sox make it clear that they need to make a move to stay competitive.
The White Sox are still technically alive in the playoff race, but their odds of making it feel slim.
