Players the White Sox should trade: Tim Anderson

The Chicago White Sox have a club option they could choose to exercise for Anderson at the end of the 2023 season, which would allow them to bring him back for the 2024 season for $14 million.

That salary seems worth it for Anderson, who has demonstrated considerable success both at the plate and in the field over his eight seasons with the team. Anderson is widely considered one of the best shortstops in baseball.

However, Tim Anderson continues to be a popular name on the MLB rumor mill at this point in the season.

Despite Anderson’s significant track record of achievement, he has played materially worse so far this season than he has historically. Anderson has hit over .300 in each of the last four seasons, but is hitting .268 with no home run so far this season.

A change of scenery may not only allow the White Sox the opportunity to procure valuable young assets but also may benefit the 29-year-old shortstop.  The market for Tim Anderson should be reasonably large — and not only restricted to imminently contending teams.

Potential Landing Spots: Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Angels, San Francisco Giants
