CLEVELAND -- The always-entertaining July 31 rumor mill took an unexpected turn on Friday when talk show legend Larry King predicted a White Sox/Los Angeles Dodgers trade.
A longtime Dodgers fan, King tweeted:
Don't be surprised if the @dodgers and @whitesox make a trade before the deadline, July 31st.

White Sox players and manager Robin Ventura took the rumor as they would any other of the hundreds that surface in the days and weeks that lead up to the deadline --with skepticism.
