Chicago White Sox Eric Peddy's Stock Is Soaring Ahead Of Trade Deadline. While the White Sox, who gave up the season early, are expected to sell a large number of key players, local media have predicted the possibility of Pedi's trade every day.
Teams seeking to take off in the second half are paying attention to Pedi as a game changer.
MLB.com mentioned Peddy for the second time on the 19th (Korea time) 'Trade Target Best 10 to pay attention to after the All-Star break'.
Peddy's second place behind first-place Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker means that market demand is strong. High-quality starters attract buyers regardless of the FA or trade market.
Journalist Mark Pinesand, who wrote the article, said, `Peddy spent the first half of his life full of life after spending a year in Korea. Peddy signed a two-year, $15 million contract last winter, and the White Sox are expected to take the stance of big sellers ahead of the trade deadline. Even if they keep it this summer, they will be able to try to trade again later this year in the offseason. However, given the lack of supply in the starting pitcher market right now, it would not be surprising if the top teams compete for Pedi.

According to an analysis by MLB.com , Peddy is a pitcher who can expect high expectations in the postseason and is inevitably popular in the trade market.
Six to seven teams are being discussed as Pedi's expected destination.
USA Today reporter Bob Nightingale said on the 18th that the Cleveland Guardians will be able to push for Pedi at the end of this month and that they want the same type of starting pitcher as Pedi.
Sporting News claimed on the same day that `A lot of players are circulating in trade rumors, and Eric Peddy is the pitcher the Atlanta Braves should consider,' arguing that `Atlanta needs one starter, Peddy can fit in Atlanta for the rest of the season and use it at a low price in 2025.'
The Athletic columnist Jim Borden said on the 12th that there are three clubs that will be eyeing Pedi. St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta are the most valuable assets for the White Sox to collect prospects.
In addition, Bleacher Report said on the 19th that Pedi's annual salary next year is $7.5 million, indicating that he is an attractive trade target. The type of pitcher that the Boston Red Sox should consider first, he wrote.
In addition, the Houston Astros and LA Dodgers have also been mentioned in local media as clubs that can recruit Pedi.
