Move over fans of that lovable team on the north side of Chicago, the Chicago White Sox may be looking to take away some steam from the Cubs. Recent moves included the acquisitions of second baseman Brett Lawrie and Todd Frazier, who will solidify the hot corner signals that the White Sox are not going to take next season lightly. In fact, the White Sox might be one bold move away from becoming real MLB playoff contenders.
