Tuesday night’s contest is one of those painful times general manager Rick Hahn promised would come. A rebuild often includes some ugly moments that drive fans mad. Normally, they come in bunches, too. What can make it even more frustrating is when a familiar face comes back to do some damage. Hector Santiago played that role yet again on Tuesday as he shut down his old teammates, who were looking to bounce back from their worst series of the season after a surprising start. Santiago and the Minnesota Twins were too much as the White Sox dropped their fourth straight with a 7-2 loss in front of 14,498 at Guaranteed Rate Field. Mike Pelfrey took the loss for the White Sox, who dropped to 15-16. Continue to Article

After a solid four months in the league in 2016, White Sox brass decided that signing their first round draft choice (2013) to a six-year deal was the wisest way to go. With a full rebuild on the way, Anderson and Yoan Moncada appear to be the faces of the organization over the next five years going forward. Continue to Article

CHICAGO (CBS) — The Cubs may be seeking starting pitching at the trade deadline and the White Sox should have some to deal.
