It has quite simply been a disastrous start to the season for the Chicago White Sox. They are at 1o wins and 28 losses, and are the third worst team in Major League Baseball. The only two teams that are worse are the Miami Marlins at 10 wins and 29 losses, and the Colorado Rockies at nine wins and 28 losses. On Wednesday, the White Sox continued their rebuilding process by trading outfielder Robbie Grossman to the Texas Rangers for minor league right handed relief pitcher Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa of Wailuku, Hawaii according to Steve Adams of mlbtraderumors.com.
