White Sox have an AL Cy Young contender

Early Wynn (1959), LaMarr Hoyt (1983), and Jack McDowell (1993). That's it. That's the franchise list of White Sox Cy Young winners in MLB history. Dylan Cease almost had it. Chris Sale, too, had several near misses. But it's been a minute. And headed into the All-Star break, they have another contender to add to the list. No, it's not Davis Martin.  Sean Burke has pitched his way into the American League Cy Young conversation. He probably will not win it. But that is not the point.
