Future Outfield Of Dreams

The White Sox think they found their center fielder of the future in late May, agreeing to terms with 19-year-old Cuban Luis Robert, who pocketed a $26 million signing bonus.

Chicago believes it landed its right fielder of the future on July 13, when they acquired Eloy Jimenez in a trade package for Jose Quintana.

The club’s left fielder of the future?

The White Sox are sky high on 20-year-old Blake Rutherford, whom they acquired from the Yankees on July 18 in the deal that sent third baseman Todd Frazier and relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to New York.
