From MLB.com this afternoon:

Q: Hey Mark, can you lie to me and tell me the White Sox are going to be big players at the deadline this year?

Feinsand: Why wouldn't the White Sox be a player? After the past few seasons they have endured, the Sox know how tough it is to contend. Assuming that Chicago continues to hang around the top of the AL Central and/or the AL Wild Card race, I think Chris Getz will add to the roster for the stretch run. Now, I'm not suggesting that the Sox will trade away their top prospects for a rental like Tarik Skubal, but if there's an opportunity to acquire players under control for another year or two, there's no reason for them not to do that. Adding a starter or two (think of guys like Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, Reid Detmers, etc.) would not be a surprise at all.

The only types of trades that would make sense is if they:

1.) Trade mediocre to nothing prospects for a meh rental starter.

2.) Trade Jacob Gonzalez and lesser prospects for a youngish starter with additional years of control.

#2 is probably a stretch and expecting too much.

This is why I hate off days.

It fuels the mental illness of trade frenzy and we assume every GM is naive.

I hope you aren’t responding to my post above. I thought it was completely reasonable.
