A Very Different White Sox Approach

After years of targeting names that appear high on prospect lists and spending money in the wrong places, the White Sox are taking a very different approach to the 2024 season. Thus far Chris Getz has arguably added equal or better minor roster pieces for less money than the competition. Will the early savings lead to substantial additions before Spring, or will Sox fans end up underwhelmed? Let's talk fantasy versus reality in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Feelin’ Fedde

The MLB Winter Meetings are slow. That's bad news for Pedro Grifol, although we have some theories about his true importance to Chris Getz in 2024. The White Sox did sign a starting pitcher in Erick Fedde, who went 20-6 in the hitter-friendly KBO last year.
