After a blazing start, the White Sox have lost 23 of their last 30 games. There is extreme dissension among the fan base. Are the Sox a buyer or a seller at the trade deadline?
In 1997 the White Sox were in third place, 3.5 games behind first place Cleveland on July 29th. They consummated a nine player trade that day that would be called “The White Flag Trade”
The White Sox sent All-Star pitchers Wilson Alvarez and Robert Hernandez and starting pitcher Danny Darwin to San Francisco for six prospects. Alvarez and Hernandez signed with Tampa Bay following the season and Darwin retired.
