The White Sox continue to lose on the field — more 3-7 road trips, please — and they continue win in trades and international negotiations. Or, at least, they continue to tie in trades to get the young talent they sought. That’s the way you work a rebuild, people.
Looks like it, anyway. Quick, someone explain to Quintana what his role in the rebuild is, and it is not eight earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. It is not 16 earned runs in his last four starts. It is not the 73rd-best ERA in the majors and the 57th best xFIP rating on Fangraphs.
