It makes sense Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn is looking at internal options for the time being to replace injured center fielder Luis Robert, whose return date from a hip injury is uncertain.
There’s no need to panic and try to make a deal now with few teams in trade mode and only a couple out of contention. The Sox have enough offensive talent and starting pitching to get by, and the American League Central isn’t a particularly strong division.
Still, unless Leury García, Billy Hamilton and Jake Lamb turn things around in the next few weeks, or rookie Luis Gonzalez hits like Yermín Mercedes to start his career, Hahn eventually will have to upgrade the outfield.
