On Friday, the Chicago White Sox began their trade deadline fire sale when they made a flurry of trades.
Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly are headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Kendall Graveman is on his way back to the Houston Astros.
However, it appears that the South Siders are far from done making moves.
According to MLB Network insider Jon Morosi, the White Sox are shopping reliever Keynan Middleton.
Morosi notes that several teams have expressed interest in acquiring the right-hander and that there is a growing chance he could be dealt ahead of Tuesday’s official trade deadline.

Middleton has become a viable arm out of the White Sox bullpen this year.
The 29-year-old owns a 3.82 ERA over 38 appearances and has also recorded two saves.
The veteran right-hander made his Major League debut back in 2017 with the Los Angeles Angels.
He made brief stops with the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks before joining the White Sox.
But he could be a viable piece at the back end of the bullpen for any contending team.
Chicago has had a difficult season, owning a 42-63 record just days prior to the trade deadline.
They are 12 games back of first place in the AL Central and 16.5 back in the Wild Card race.
And with Middleton now on the trading block, it’s clear that the White Sox are not yet done making moves and have more planned in the coming days.
We’ll see what happens as the deadline approaches.
