ATLANTA — The question has become not if, but how many White Sox will be traded before the deadline Aug. 1.

At least the players are making the decision easy for the front office. With a 39-55 record after Saturday night’s 6-5 victory over the Braves, sunk by six losses in the last eight games, eight in the last 11 and 19 in the last 29, sending veterans out for prospects probably makes good sense.
