Contenders for the postseason, the White Sox don't appear to be.
That doesn't mean the team doesn't have some contenders for some postseason spoils — and trade scuttlebutt.
A pair of their left-handed pitchers — Chris Sale and Jose Quintana — have been better than all right among their contemporaries on the mound this season, making them attractive to voters in the Cy Young race and potential suitors on the trade market.
While nobody knows whether the Sox will keep their aces or dangle them if the team decides to rebuild during the offseason, manager Robin Ventura made clear his feelings about the two, both of whom he said should receive strong consideration for the top award given to pitchers each season.
