The Chicago White Sox are riding high in first place, but their playoff push is hanging by a thread thanks to shaky deadline acquisitions. After trading for three-time All-Star Luis Castillo — who’s been awful this season — and adding reliever Huascar Brazobán, outfielder Brenton Doyle, and catcher Joey Bart, the team’s hoping for a miracle. But with Castillo’s ERA over five, poor strikeout numbers, and just four quality starts, the gamble feels risky. Backup pitchers like Davis Martin are struggling, and Bart’s bat isn’t delivering despite solid defense. The Sox may be leading the division, but these moves might not be enough to hold off the pack — and the pressure’s mounting.
