Things were going so well just a few weeks ago for Miguel Vargas. The 24-year-old was in his third season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was playing a small role on a team that is the favorite to win the World Series.
Then, something rough happened. He got traded to the White Sox in a deadline deal between three teams. And just like that Vargas went from living large on a contending team to playing for a franchise that is making the wrong kind of history, as Chicago lost its 21st game in a row Monday night in Oakland.
