Rodon’s precarious season will linger into 2018 after shoulder surgery
With 2017 being essentially a year free of the worries of competition for the Chicago White Sox, one of the main selling points for fan enjoyment was watching the young talent that was left behind develop and hopefully take that next step. The results were a bit of a mixed bag. Avisail Garcia finally broke […]
