hi8is Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 By Mark Gonzales As they've done in past contending seasons, the White Sox will have several of their professional scouts fly to Chicago during the last week of July. The purpose of the gathering is to assess personnel that could be used in trades up to the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline. The Sox's scouts have been on the road for most of the season evaluating talent from other organizations. General manager Ken Williams, however, has been known to make deals in well in advance of the deadline. At the same time, chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said last month that the team could remain the same way it is currently constructed. The first-place Sox begin the season's second half Thursday night in Minnesota with the opening game of a four-game series against the Twins at Target Field.
