White Sox Surprisingly Lead AL Central at Trade Deadline
Chicago enters the deadline as a division leader, raising questions about whether they'll buy, sell, or stand pat.
The White Sox posted 101, 121, and 102 losses in 2023-25 but have emerged as AL Central leaders with a 54-47 record. Their +44 run differential ranks eighth in baseball. Warning signs exist — a 23-30 road record and 18-24 mark vs. winning teams — but the team has defied expectations deep into July. Their standing gives them a first-round bye if the playoffs started today, complicating typical deadline seller assumptions.
