From the Yankees, the ChiSox reportedly are asking for two blue-chip prospects, including either Gleyber Torres (highly regarded despite being injured) or Clint Frazier (three homers, a double and two triples in first seven major league games) as part of a larger package. Chicago received a similar return from the Red Sox, who parted with Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech when they dealt for Chris Sale last December.
As good as Quintana can be, he’s no Sale. But the White Sox are in the driver’s seat with three weeks to go until the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
