Podcast: Back to the drawing board

Man, do we have plenty to discuss this week on the podcast.

Here is the rundown:

• A friend of the podcast, MLB.com's Scott Merkin stops by to share what he has learned about the incident surrounding Chris Sale. How will the team move forward and if trade rumors are impacting the clubhouse?
• Jim and I debate if Sale slashing uniforms is the dumbest thing we've heard of concerning the Sox.
• We spend a great deal of this week's show going to the drawing board. After all that happened this weekend and just a week away from the trade deadline, do the White Sox move forward with a rebuilding effort by dealing Sale and Jose Quintana? Or is it best to reload for 2017 and make one last push? Also, ponder the type of return that would be satisfactory in moving Sale and why it's not unreasonable to trade Sale but keep Quintana.
• Of course, we answer your questions in P.O. Sox. Here is a couple Jim tackled:

@SouthSideSox I suspect Rick and Kenny will helm a White Sox rebuild if one is to come. How can I spin this positively and not despair?
