What happened: Jon Heyman posed a rhetorical question on X asking whether anyone has the Chicago White Sox as a bye team, a jab at the club's lack of competitiveness this season.

Why it matters: The needle lands as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches, a stretch in which non-contending clubs like the White Sox typically face pressure to move veteran talent for young players and prospects.

What to watch: Whether Chicago moves toward selling ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline remains to be seen.
