Maybe someday the White Sox will learn that, and get off their thought that the White Sox have secretly been the dream destination for every player they want to acquire.

chitownsportsfan Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Jim's post on Manny is pretty much exactly why he's so damn boring as a writer.
