White Sox closer David Robertson tries to ignore trade rumors

The White Sox closer is coming back from offseason knee surgery and must balance preparing for the season with pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

He figures he’s not going to add trade rumors to his list of concerns until he has to.

Robertson’s name has ranked just behind left-hander Jose Quintana on the list of most likely trade candidates during the Sox rebuild.

Just last week, reports surfaced that the Sox had been in talks with the Nationals to deal the nine-year major-league veteran, but they hit a stalemate.
