While purported Trade Deadline headliner Garrett Crochet stayed put — oh wait, you knew that a week ago, because Garrett himself told us with his 11th hour demands — it didn’t stop the White Sox from making a series of minor deals.
Eloy Jiménez was shipped to Baltimore in a White Sox salary-relief move. Jiménez is owed $4.5 million for the remainder of 2024 and will receive a $3 million buyout from the Orioles when his $16.5 million option is not picked up for 2025. In addition to salary relief, Baltimore sent lefty reliever Trey McGough to the White Sox.
