The Yankees will get a first-hand look at the hapless Sox when they open a series in Chicago Monday.
Carlos Rodon was a member of the White Sox three years ago, when they won the AL Central and made the postseason for a second straight year.
“When I left, it looked like a team that definitely had a chance to win another division,’’ Rodon said Sunday. “I don’t know what happened.” Today’s Iconic Moment in NY Sports History: Babe Ruth becomes the first player in MLB history to hit 500 home runs“I think they’re still finding an identity,’’ Rodon said. “‘Do we want to spend money or develop ? Right now, it seems like they want to develop, but you have to learn how to do that, and it takes time.
“You see what the Royals have been able to do in that division with putting a team together,’’ Rodon said. “The White Sox are four years behind that. I was there for a rebuild, and then we got to the postseason, and here we are with them being in a rebuild again.” And for a Yankees team battling the Orioles for AL East supremacy, they can’t afford to slip against the White Sox,“Not a lot has gone right there,’’ DJ LeMahieu said.
“Just a few years ago, it seemed like they could have sustained success,” Rizzo said. “The people of Chicago, definitely the South Side fans, they deserve better. It’s tough. It’s a sports city.” Rizzo, still rehabbing from a fractured arm, won’t be in Chicago for the series, but he’s aware of how rough it’s been.
