White Sox News

Miguel Vargas is making a serious case for MVP chants as the White Sox fans rallied behind their third baseman during a weekend homestand, despite a frustrating loss to the Royals on Sunday. The South Siders are on fire, sitting 43-38 and holding first place in the division, thanks to a solid run differential of +19 over the past week.
