We are now well into the period for considering possible White Sox trades, so I naturally went to the ultimate expert in such matters, in fact in all matters: artificial intelligence. Turns out AI may not be all it’s cracked up to be in this category.
Asked to name the Sox best trade chips, AI responded, “The Chicago White Sox’s top trade chip is likely Luis Robert Jr., a center fielder with All-Star potential. While Robert has had injury issues, he still has a high ceiling.” In fairness to AI, it apparently made the decision last season, but you’d think the wave of the future for all mankind — or for eliminating mankind — would make an effort to keep up to date.
