[TheLongHorn]

White Sox send:

1B Andrew Vaughn $5m (2029)

P Jose Alvarado $5m (2026)

White Sox is covering ?28 and ?29 salary for Vaughn and ?26 salary for Alvarado

Orioles send:

3B Myles Naylor

P Carson Seymour

2025 3rd round pick


White Sox have coveted Naylor since the first armchair draft, but also add a young arm, as well as more draft capital in the next draft. Orioles to confirm, thanks @unrungbell!

O's accept.

Team is in a weird spot thanks to the Ohtani conundrum.  No matter how it shakes out I'll need a 1B next year (and beyond fingers crossed), and if it doesn't work out it doesn't come with a big cap hit. I've always been a Vaughn guy, and while he'd have been cheaper a few weeks ago, It's still nice to get a share back on him while he tries to rehab his value. Alvarado will provide some high leverage next year. I

Seymour is an interesting arm and I wouldn't have drafted Naylor, so I'm glad it works out for everyone involved to buy low.

Thanks to Longhorn for the easy negotiations and good luck.
