How the White Sox almost landed Jake Arrieta

Last week, I told White Sox general manager Rick Hahn I was working on a “fun” column leading up to Cubs-Sox week and needed his perspective.

And then we talked about my “fun” idea last Thursday.

“This one’s not so much fun,” he said. “It was fun from their point of view.”

Hahn was laughing during our five-minute trip down memory lane. But White Sox fans might groan when they read what comes next.

Cubs ace Jake Arrieta starts against the White Sox on Monday in the first game of the four-day Crosstown Series at U.
