The Chicago White Sox are in the midst of a massive rebuilding effort that has seen them sell off anything of perceived short-term value for anything amounting to long-term value. They’re rolling out a bunch of no-names on a nightly basis and have the worst record in the American League.
But still the players actually on the team have got to play, and Carlos Rodon, who has never been a potential trade chip, has been very good lately. On Wednesday he threw more than seven innings of two-run ball on the road against the Dodgers. He also collected his second-career hit.
