You hear the phrase all the time in pro sports, and baseball is no different. The MLB is a business at the end of the day. So, with the 2023 MLB trade deadline approaching, we have no choice but to expect our fair share of moves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, as a city with two baseball teams, we\u2019re used to seeing double the action this time of year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The White Sox have already made some noise after getting swept by their northern counterparts in the Crosstown Classic.

Back at the start of May, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/hitting-the-panic-button-2023-white-sox-edition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we discussed how the team was doing so far<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the year and how the question to buy or sell was still up in the air. Fast-forward to today &#8211; we know where we stand, and the front-office does too as they\u2019ve already made a move before the trade deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late at night this past Wednesday, the Sox made their first move of the 2023 MLB trade deadline in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels. In the deal, the White Sox sent pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez for two of the Angels top prospects: Ky Bush and Edgar Quero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Giolito leave may not be the most fun move, but it was practically a given that this would be his last year with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/?s=chicago+white+sox\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicago White Sox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And the same can be said for Lopez too as both pitchers are set to hit free agency after the season ends. Plus, the return the Sox got in two Double-A players, Bush and Quero, should be fairly solid. Quero is a top prospect in baseball and should have a strong career once he enters the majors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With about five days to go until the 2023 MLB trade deadline, there\u2019s still plenty of time for the Sox to make some more moves and look to the future of rebuilding. But, for now, let\u2019s turn our heads north.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CvJWfFEAxtF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CvJWfFEAxtF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by cubs (@cubs)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cubs Contemplate Choices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s all crickets up in the Northside as the 2023 MLB trade deadline approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will they sell? Or will they buy? Only time will tell, and while we hope they lean more towards some buying moves, it\u2019s hard to tell what Hoyer and Co. plan to do. We can\u2019t envision them going all-in and mortgage their future. However, we also don\u2019t see a complete selling spree rebuild like the White Sox are more geared for in their present state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cubs have some solid pieces in Marcus Stroman and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bellico01.shtml\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cody Bellinger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that could offer a great return if traded to the right contender. At the same time, both guys are more than capable of helping the Cubs produce on the field and win games now. The fans want that, Manager David Ross wants that, and upper management should want that too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, if we had to make a prediction, we could see some buying take place pending the outcome of the next set of games against the Cardinals. Their current record of 51-51 has them five games back of the top of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/standings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NL Central standings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so anything they can do to improve via trade would surely put them closer towards making the postseason. Trade target-wise, the Cubs could look to build their pitching more with a left-handed reliever, and they could also target some offensive production at first and third base, and the DH spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2023 MLB trade deadline falls on next Tuesday, August 1 at 5 PM CST.
