White Sox Rumors: All-Star Closer Liam Hendriks Discussed in Trade Talks

Liam Hendriks is rumored to be traded by the Chicago White Socks.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the right-handed pitcher's name has come up in trade talks with other clubs even though he has a limited no-trade clause on his contract.

Any team in need of a relief pitcher would love to have him.

His resume includes three All-Star selections and two Rivera Reliever Awards, and he was still effective this past season even though he may be a bit past his prime.

A year after leading the league with 38 saves, the White Sox closer finished with a 2.81 earned run average and 37 saves. He was an All-Star in both of his seasons with the Chicago Cubs and the Oakland A's.

He has played for six different teams since the year 2011.

It may be somewhat surprising to see the White Sox explore a potential trade with one of their impact players, considering they are coming off two playoff appearances in the last three years and have hopes of competing for an American League Central crown in 2023.

Even though he wouldn't be a rental player, Chicago could get quite the return in a trade for him.

For now, his name is just part of the rumor mill, but he is someone who could help the White Sox retool depending on the return.
