Backup catcher Drew Romo has hit only .134 this season, raising concerns about depth behind the plate.

History

Historical Context

After the 1919 Black Sox scandal—when eight Chicago White Sox players were banned and prompted the appointment of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis—Chicago avoided the World Series until 1959 and did not win again until 2005, a span of 86 years. Today’s roster moves, such as recalling Edgar Quero, echo the early-century shift toward deeper benches to offset financial strain.
