3 Teams Linked To White Sox Eloy Jimenez If Made Available

If Eloy Jimenez becomes available for trade, three teams appear to be the most suitable destinations: the Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners, and Miami Marlins, according to MLB Trade Rumors.

Each team offers a compelling case for acquiring the slugger.

The Diamondbacks, coming off an 84-win season, have already strengthened their lineup but could still use a reliable designated hitter.

Jimenez's power bat could seamlessly fit into their roster, and their surplus of young, cost-effective players might appeal to the White Sox in a potential trade.

The Mariners recently lost a power hitter in a trade for Eugenio Suarez, leaving a void in their lineup. Jimenez's offensive prowess, whether as a designated hitter or an occasional outfielder, could provide a substantial boost.

While their prized young pitching prospects may be untouchable, they could offer other enticing assets to facilitate a trade.

The Marlins, who showed interest in Jimenez during the trade deadline, are in need of a right-handed slugger to replace Jorge Soler.

Jimenez could fill this void at a reasonable cost, potentially creating a mutually beneficial trade scenario.
