Sox have valuable trade chips for booming relief market
Most offseasons it’s the same old story.

Chris Sale and the Identity of an Afflicted Fan Base

Let’s appreciate Adam Eaton
There simply hasn’t been a whole lot to revel in since the epic mid-May collapse of the 2016 White Sox. There have been slumps, there have been injuries, there have been newcomers who didn’t live up to their expectations, and a whole lot of losses to chalk up in the L column. White Sox fans […]
Carlos Rodon’s turnaround was led by a change
Last year, rookie pitching phenom Carlos Rodon made his major league debut on April 21, 2015. Rodon had been selected as the third overall pick in the first round of the draft on June 5, 2014.
