Paul Sullivan: Are White Sox and Cubs heading in opposite directions? This offseason could be a turning point for both teams.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The perception that the White Sox are a team on the rise and that the Cubs are heading in the opposite direction was perhaps inevitable.
Whether that perception is based in reality is debatable.
It's true the Sox have several young players whose stock appears to be climbing, including Yoan Moncada, Tim Anderson, Lucas Giolito, Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert.
And it's also accurate to say the Cubs are contemplating shaking up their core, with players such as Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras and Kyle Schwarber reportedly available for the right price this offseason.
