Not that it saddens me to see them continue to suck, but what the hell are the White Sox doing? Is trading Duke really going to be the sum total of their moves?

They could get an absolute haul for Sale and/or Quintana. It would accelerate any rebuilding process in a huge way.
But they refuse to rebuild. It's actually kind of glorious. They're going to toil as an average to slightly above average team forever.

This is what they get for letting Hawk run the front office.

I mean, fine don't trade your two big arms. But why wouldn't you move Frazier or Abreu or one of their other bats? It's mind boggling to me. I suppose its entirely possible that no one is interested though...

Are they possibly under the assumption that if they go into total rebuild mode, that nobody will go to their games (even less than what they normally draw)?
White Sox - funkster - 08-01-2016
They have so many holes to fill, I don't know why you wouldn't at least try to fill some of them by trading off some of those position players.

It's official...Sox do absolutely nothing with the deadline passing.
White Sox - Bricklayer - 08-01-2016
I'm not sure the sox had to do something at the deadline. I mean, none of the guys they'll get good people for will be FAs at the end of the season. They could be waiting until the winter and have a bigger pool to deal from.

Also, I'm not sure they would get shit for Abreu right now. He's been terrible and trending downwards the past two years.

I'm his defense, he was forced to go to the Sox. Maybe this was his way of looking at the team for part of a game and saying screw this I'm out.

He's a local kid. I hope he's OK.
That was difficult to say...
