Trying to assess how this year’s Trade Deadline might play out can be an exercise in futility, with 24 of the 30 teams in the Majors entering play Tuesday within four games of a postseason spot. That doesn’t mean we can’t give it a shot, right? The White Sox, Angels,

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays weren’t happy when they left Tropicana Field on Monday night, having suffered a four-game sweep at the hands of the Orioles.
