As the Cubs drive toward a dynasty, the White Sox quietly rebuild

Like all weighty matters in America these days, any suspense surrounding Chicago baseball in 2017 can be reduced to 140 characters.

As the White Sox embrace the suck, will the Cubs enjoy so much success that the once-lovable losers become the team everybody loves to hate?

Nobody will be shocked if the Sox lose as many games as the Cubs win — 96? — and both teams can say it's by design. The Sox will develop talent and a winning culture as part of an overdue youth movement their smart fans should appreciate.
