Chicago Teams Targeting Reid Detmers
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The White Sox and Cubs have expressed interest in acquiring Angels starter Reid Detmers, a controllable left-handed pitcher performing as a playoff-caliber starter this season.
- Detmers has a 4.05 ERA in 21 appearances, with improved strikeout and walk rates, and recently delivered strong outings post-All-Star Break.
- The Angels, open to trade talks under interim GM John Mozeliak, may seek multiple top 100 prospects for Detmers and rotation mate José Soriano, both under team control through 2028.
- The Cubs face rotation challenges due to injuries and recently moved on from Jameson Taillon, making Detmers a potential top-three starter alongside Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga.
- The White Sox, contending in the AL Central and AL West, have a less dominant rotation and could benefit from adding Detmers to bolster their starting pitching depth.
