The Cubs/White Sox rivalry just doesn’t feel like much of one anymore. Back in the day, the teams used to genuinely hate each other, but those protagonists — looking mostly at you A.J. Pierzynski and Michael Barrett — are long gone. The two teams even made a goodwill trade last year when the White Sox sent Jose Quintana to the Cubs for Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease. If the front offices have a peer-to-peer relationship that is open and friendly, certainly that trickles down to the players on the field.
