The Chicago White Sox always used to thrive on turmoil, and maybe they still do.
Or maybe it's just that Chris Sale is really this good.
Sale, you might remember, was the face of the White Sox player anger over the Adam LaRoche mess in spring training. He was the one who said club president Kenny Williams "bold-faced lied to" Sox players, as detailed by Bleacher Report colleague Scott Miller.
It got ugly enough that there were columns written in other cities suggesting this would be a great time for one team or another to trade for Sale.
