White Sox eye Bieber, Rogers for rotation help, Yahoo says

Both starters can test free agency after 2026.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 311 min read

What happened: Chicago is also pursuing Reid Detmers and Clay Holmes as it considers rentals and controllable starters. Club representatives attended Holmes’ Tuesday rehab start and Tarik Skubal’s Wednesday outing in Detroit.

Why it matters: The White Sox are trying to reach the postseason for the first time since 2021. Chicago prefers a starter aligned with its young core but remains open to a short-term addition.

By the numbers: Shane Bieber is 2-2 with a 5.74 ERA in seven starts. Trevor Rogers is 6-7 with a 4.27 ERA in 20 starts, including a 1.85 ERA and 41 strikeouts over his past seven.

What to watch: The deadline arrives Monday at 6 p.m. ET. Chicago must decide whether to pursue a rental or pay more for a controllable starter.
