CLEVELAND -- White Sox manager Robin Ventura admitted he can’t help but wonder if he will see Jeff Samardzija pitch again in a Sox uniform after the right-hander takes the mound against the Indians on Thursday night at Progressive Field.
Samardzija is at the forefront of Sox trade rumors with nine days to go until the July 31 trade deadline. As the trade market started to pick up elsewhere Thursday, Samardzija, who has gone 6-5 with a 4.08 ERA this season, will be scrutinized as one of the high-caliber starting pitchers who could move before the end of the month.
