Ky Bush was traded from the Los Angeles Angels to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo López. The Angels were desperate to make a postseason push in what was widely believed to be Shohei Ohtani's final season with the team. Unfortunately for the Angels, Giolito's performance was disappointing, leading to both pitchers being placed on waivers shortly after the trade. Meanwhile, Bush has shown promise in the minors and is expected to compete for a rotation spot in 2025, making the trade a potential long-term regret for the Angels.

Ky Bush is one of several candidates competing for a starting role in the White Sox's rotation, which remains uncertain following the trade of Garrett Crochet. His performance will be pivotal as the team looks to rebuild after consecutive losing seasons.

His spot on the roster will be filled by lefty reliever Sammy Peralta, with a call-up likely to fill Bush's rotation spot on Thursday.
