Teams interested in trading for a member of the Chicago White Sox now have an eligible list to work with.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the White Sox have reportedly told teams they are open to trading away anyone on the roster with fewer than four years of team control remaining on their contracts.

The list of targets who fit general manager Rick Hahn's criteria does include Chris Sale, who may be garnering the most interest in the trade market for starting pitchers. It does seemingly eliminate fellow starter Jose Quintana, however, who's under contract with the club through the 2020 season but attracted his own significant trade interest this past year.

Player Position Final contract year
Chris Sale P 2019
Jose Abreu 1B 2019
Zach Putnam P 2019
Dan Jennings P 2019
Avisail Garcia DH/OF 2019
Jake Petricka P 2019
James Shields P 2018
David Robertson P 2018
Melky Cabrera OF 2017
Brett Lawrie 2B 2017
Miguel Gonzalez P 2017
Todd Frazier 3B 2017

Of the eligible list, Frazier may be commanding the second-most trade interest after Sale, with reports surfacing earlier in November the White Sox were listening to offers for the two-time All-Star third baseman.
