Sox In The Basement

White Sox Begin To Make Moves

No matter what you thought of Yoan Moncada, the way his team quickly moved on from him the moment he could be bought out was very telling. The White Sox have started to clear the decks. Comments from GM Chris Getz about new manager Will Venable seem to indicate more players will be heading for the door soon. Our only hope is that Getz and Company are watching the Dodgers more than the Yankees as they shape a new franchise direction.
