MLB Rumors: One seller isn’t done, Reds make a big move, more

MLB Rumors: Brewers, Marlins showing interest in Eloy Jimenez

Weeks ago, the White Sox made their trade deadline plans quite clear. They were going to move most, if not all, of their expiring deals. Beyond that, they had their “core four” that remained untouchable, as they planned on these four being the future of their roster. These four building blocks were Dylan Cease, Andrew Vaughn, Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert Jr. But recently, teams have been inquiring about a few of these players availability.

Dylan Cease has been asked about by multiple teams, but Chicago reportedly answers each question with “no.”

But just recently, it’s was reported by Bruce Levin of The Score that the Brewers and Marlins are showing serious interest in Eloy Jimenez, who’s under contract for multiple seasons and was seen as untouchable weeks ago.

There’s been no reports of any discussion regarding Jimenez, so this could all just be seen as the Brewers and Marlins making sure he is still off the table before moving on. All signs are pointing to the White Sox sticking to a shorter term rebuild based on them already moving Joe Kelly, Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Kendall Graveman and Lance Lynn. Securing their core players makes sure this rebuild has a good base to it. Trading Jimenez remains quite unlikely.
