But they also nearly made a move to add a veteran ahead of the deadline.</p><p>The White Sox traded away their key pitchers ahead of the deadline — including starters Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn and relievers Joe Kelly and Kendall Graveman — and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-chicago-regret-not-trading-dylan-cease-deadline" rel="noopener">shopped 2022 Cy Young runner-up</a> Dylan Cease, too. But they also <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/08/06/cardinals-adam-wainwright-chasing-200-wins-in-final-season/70538172007/" rel="noopener">nearly traded <i>for</i> a veteran catcher</a>, according to Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY Sports.</p><p>“The Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals were engaged in serious trade discussions for Royals All-Star catcher Salvador Perez on trade deadline day before the White Sox simply weren’t willing to give up the prospects the Royals sought,” writes Nightengale.</p><p>The Royals are in a rebuild and traded away Ryan Yarbrough, Aroldis Chapman and Scott Barlow as they look to build a good team for the future. Perez, who has been with the Royals for the last 13 seasons, was a prime candidate to be traded but his massive contract complicated matters. Kansas City nearly found a team to take him but Chicago sounded like a team that knew Perez’s price <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/royals-news-salvador-perez-trade-market-major-update" rel="noopener">wasn’t that high</a>.</p><p>The White Sox trading for Perez would have been confusing. The best-case scenario would have been to rebuild his value and try to trade him away at a later date. Perhaps they still believe that the core of Cease, Luis Robert Jr., Tim Anderson, Andrew Vaughm Andrew Benintendi, Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada can be competitive at some point in the future. The AL Central is a weak division, so that’s not entirely out of the question.</p><p>But the White Sox still need to get real about the true potential of their team. Even thinking of a trade for Perez, who is becoming less equipped to be a catcher at the age of 33, makes little sense, even with Yasmani Grandal set to be a free agent after this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Following the announcement, Perez <a href="https://www.mlb.com/royals/news/salvador-perez-to-represent-royals-at-2023-all-star-game" rel="noopener">reacted to his name</a> being called for the festivities in Seattle.</p><p>Via MLB.com:</p><p>“That was a nice moment,” Perez said. “… It means a lot. First, we play for the team. It’s about winning and losing. But I think everybody has a personal goal, and that’s one of them — make it to the All-Star Game. Have a chance to be in the same group as a lot of stars. It means a lot. Especially for the family, you make a lot of family happy and proud of you. That’s a big thing, too.</p><p>“I think every All-Star Game means a lot,” Salvador Perez continued. “It means something to me, it’s important to me. … You try to have fun. Try to enjoy the moment. Because it’s super quick. So try to see all the players, ask about their families and try to [make] some new friends.”</p><p>Perez isn’t putting up eye-popping numbers, but the 33-year-old is the clear leader of this young<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/royals-news-owner-endorses-matt-quatraro-horrific-season/" rel="noopener"> Royals team</a> and one of their more productive players. He’s hitting .253 with 15 home runs and 40 RBIs while playing phenomenal defense behind the dish as per usual. He’s the only Kansas City player who will be heading to the ASG in 23′.</p><p>The veteran won’t start in Seattle but should get some innings alongside Baltimore Orioles stud Adley Rutschman, who is the other AL backup behind Jonah Heim of the Texas Rangers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
