Sox In The Basement

Looking at recent Hot Stove rumors, it seems apparent that the White Sox have more to come.

Potential White Sox Role Changes

Is Tim Anderson still the best leadoff guy? Is Jose Abreu still a #3 or #4 hitter in your lineup? Have the White Sox been using Yasmani Grandal properly? Let's see if roles that were established a few seasons ago should stay the same in 2022. An update may be needed to the team's offensive philosophy. Meanwhile, the Hall of Fame ballot is out and a messed-up system is keeping some good players out of serious consideration. Is Mark Buehrle one of those victims?

White Sox Concerns: Tigers & Boras

The White Sox have an emerging division challenger in the Detroit Tigers, and they better be ready to compete in the offseason marketplace. We examine the first few free agent starting pitcher signings. Plus, do you really want to chase Michael Conforto for RF when Scott Boras is his agent?

White Sox Speak Loudly With Rodon Decision

Sox Fest is cancelled. Fans are falling in love with available free agents. But the decision made by the White Sox to not offer an $18MM+ qualifying offer to Carlos Rodon spoke loudly. We take you through the process and why it seems that Rick Hahn and the Sox no longer trusted the arm of Rodon. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, right? We think so, and it opens up a world of possibility.
