MLB: Tampa Bay Rays at Chicago White Sox

South Side Morning 5: Rodon, The Rebuild & The Trade Deadline

The Rebuild has always been about more than the handful of players acquired for Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, and Adam Eaton, as crucial as they may be.  After all, Carlos Rodon represents the highest draft pick in the organization, the reward for losing 99 games in 2013, back when the White Sox still fancied themselves […]
