    MLB trade deadline clock ticking on Marlins, White Sox

    The White Sox and Marlins are the most active sellers, and if they can get deals done quickly, before the list of sellers grows, it may benefit them.

    The Marlins are dangling infielder-outfielder Jazz Chisholm and are certain to trade All-Star closer Tanner Scott. They say the move of Chisholm back to second base from center field isn’t trade related, but two rumored teams with interest (Yankees and Mariners) do need infielders.

    Considering the White Sox’s current timeline, word is reliever-turned-starter Garrett Crochet and outfield star Luis Robert (the Mariners make sense for him, too) have a decent chance to be dealt. They seem even likelier to trade Erick Fedde and should certainly should find takers for Tommy Pham, Paul DeJong and Michael Kopech.

    The Phillies and Royals are thought to have some interest in Pham as they search for an outfielder while the Mariners and Pirates also seek bats.

    Ringing endorsement for Jazz

    The only reason the Yankees should consider trading Spencer Jones

    Chisholm, who’s being considered by the Yankees, Mariners and others, is known for his flashy style. And he was a bit too outspoken once, when he publicly ripped solid veteran Miguel Rojas.

    But one ex-Marlins person endorses him.

    “Jazz is a good kid, he just needs direction,” the former Fish said. “He is a really good worker — first one to the park. All the antics is just a show. Deep down, he is humble.

    “The New York fans would love him, he loves to interact with the crowd” the person continued. “Just your classic super talented kid who needs a little structure as he can wander off at times.”

    The infield choices are growing thin. Luis Rengifo is out (and may not make it back as soon as hoped), and Jonathan India seems unlikely to be traded now as the surging Reds could be a buyer.

    The Mets continue to seek bullpen help, as they remain a buyer for now.

    That means Pete Alonso appears to be staying.

    Prices are high for relievers as the oft-injured Hunter Harvey brought back the Royals’ No. 2 prospect plus pick No. 39 in the draft.

    Good for Kansas City going for it, though. They seek a corner outfield bat, too.

    Friends say Texas product Noah Syndergaard plans to revamp things, lose 25 or so pounds and aim for a comeback next year.

    Don’t count Thor out.
