Is DeSoxification good for your soul?

This is a piece about how players traded to or from the White Sox at the deadline have fared since, but first a word of caution: Web stuff hangs around forever, so be careful to date your work.

I had gathered stats before the Houston series started, figuring half a month may be a small sample size, but not an unreasonable one. I give the warning not so much for those traded, but for those who might have been but were left behind, namely Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr.

Even national publications have said the Dodgers and Orioles (among others) dodged a bullet by not swapping for Crochet, that his display of incredible arrogance and mind-blowing stupidity in issuing demands and threats he can’t contractually make saved them from a serious mistake.
