Sox In The Basement

How Locked-In Is This White Sox Roster?

Elvis Andrus is back. Rick Hahn has him set to be at 2B everyday. Rick Hahn also has major league plans for Romy González. Rick Hahn actually seems to have so many players locked in to roster spots that the team's 13 position players expected to break camp already look set. Or are they? We're reading between the Hahn-speak, destroying PECOTA projections and taking a deep stats dive into the catcher position with The Sox Nerd in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Inside The White Sox Scoreboard

We go inside the White Sox incredible scoreboard with the Sox Nerd Dave Marran to learn how it operates, what fans try to sneak on the screen and what he avoids putting in the White Sox Almanac. Dave also helps us shut down any questions about Reynaldo Lopez's potential to be the team's closer in 2023. Plus, the White Sox are hiring people for brand new positions in an effort to change the way things are done at 35th & Shields.
