Passan: White Sox/Dodgers Nearing a Big Trade
Well, this is interesting.
Source: Dodgers, White Sox nearing a trade. Top pitching prospect Frankie Montas is going to Los Angeles, so it could be pretty big.

The obvious guess here is that the Dodgers are shipping an outfielder to Chicago, and with a significant prospect like Montas going to LA, it would seem more likely to involve Yasiel Puig than a salary dump like Andre Ethier or Carl Crawford. Of course, David Robertson could also be a fit for the Dodgers, who already tried to trade for Aroldis Chapman, and the Dodgers are seemingly always looking to take on bad contracts to acquire prospects, so perhaps they could be taking Adam LaRoche off the White Sox hands in order to buy some more minor league inventory.
I’d imagine we’ll find out more soon. Stay tuned.
