The answer to this thread is summed up here. We gotta make the playoffs THIS YEAR, actually win a few games, AND make it deep into the AL Championship Series at the very least . Any less, and you'll see a firesale. If the White Sox didn't get hot, I personally think you would have seen a firesale alot sooner than after the season ends. But, I always held that if this team got hot, moves to bolster the team would be made.
