The Boston Red Sox are seeking to enhance their pitching staff as the playoffs approach, with a focus on addressing concerns in their starting rotation due to injuries. A key player under consideration is Chicago White Sox pitcher Adrian Houser, who has posted a remarkable 2.10 ERA this season. At 32 years old and performing exceptionally well, Houser is seen as an affordable trade option as he is not under contract beyond the current season. Interest in him is growing among various teams as the trade deadline approaches.
Adrian Houser has been a popular trade candidate this month, with a number of teams calling the White Sox about the 32-year-old. After opting out of his Minor League deal with the Rangers in mid-May, Houser signed with Chicago and has been a revelation, going 5-2 with a 1.89 ERA in 10 starts.
He's earning only $1.35 million this season, making him an inexpensive rotation option for contenders in need of an innings-eater. Houser is averaging more than six innings per start for the White Sox, consistently getting weak contact (he's in the 94th percentile in barrel rate) while posting solid ground-ball numbers (48.1 percent).
