The Chicago White Sox are a much-improved team from the last few seasons.
Sluggers Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery are helping the AL Central club stay competitive.
However, despite their best efforts, the White Sox are likely to fall short of the postseason. Naturally, that should make them sellers at this year's trade deadline.
They may not make drastic moves, but Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller could see them trading away at least one starting pitcher.
"For the second time in three years, the White Sox took a flyer on [Erick] Fedde and might be reaping a reward at the deadline—if they even end up being a seller, which is the furthest thing from a guarantee at this point, 0.5 games back in the AL Central," Miller wrote Wednesday.
