Not even 24 hours after finishing their second to last series of the year with the Chicago White Sox, the Minnesota Twins decided to trade Nelson Cruz to the Tampa Bay Rays. He single-handedly defeated them in game one of Monday’s doubleheader but now he is out of the AL Central. Outside of Aaron Rodgers, nobody is a bigger thorn to the side of a Chicago sports franchise than Nelson Cruz to the White Sox.
With all of that in mind, this is terrible news for the White Sox.
