trade for optics
The White Flag Trade was a trade made between two Major League Baseball teams in 1997. On July 31, 1997, the Chicago White Sox traded three major players to the San Francisco Giants for six minor leaguers. At the time, the trade was maligned by the vast majority of White Sox fans, who saw it as a sign that owner Jerry Reinsdorf was giving up on the team, even while they were only 3 1⁄2 games behind the Cleveland Indians for the American League Central Division lead.Reinsdorf defended the trade, saying that "anyone who thinks we can catch Cleveland is crazy", and the White Sox eventually finished 6 games out of 1st place in 1997. The team did win the Central Division title in 2000 with contributions from Keith Foulke and Bob Howry, two of the players received in the trade.
