Play all audios:

The season has progressed beyond the feeling-out portion. After Memorial Day weekend, MLB has entered the fascinating third of the schedule that culminates with the July 31 trade deadline.


Most teams mainly will stall at least through the July 13-14 draft before declaring if they are buyers, sellers or standing pat. Though, for some, it is already midnight. The Rockies are on


the way to being the worst team ever, and the only positives for the White Sox are that they are not as bad as last year’s White Sox (yet) or this season’s Rockies. But Chicago already has


done much of its main selling, notably moving Garrett Crochet in the offseason. Perhaps an offensively hungry team can buy low on the once-upon-time of the White Sox’s faded Andrew


Benintendi and/or Luis Robert Jr., but neither is worth his contract, much less giving up real assets — Robert had the 11th-worst OPS-plus among qualifiers entering the weekend.
