The White Sox will be getting Miguel Vargas and a haul of prospects in return, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Kopech, 28, is 2-8 with a 4.74 ERA and 9 saves in 43 innings across 43 appearances this season for the White Sox, with whom he has pitched since entering the majors in 2018. The former starter was moved to the bullpen prior to this season.
