Sox In The Basement

James Fox Tries To Predict The Future (Sox)

As White Sox fans start defending their favorite players from trade speculation and writing their free agent wish list, our guy James Fox of Future Sox jumps in with some knowledge. Why did the White Sox wait to talk about their season with the media? Are there minor league names you should know about before the Rule 5 Draft? Will the White Sox payroll increase this offseason (yes) and why? Will Carlos Rodon get a Qualifying Offer? What kind of free agents are the Sox chasing? We get into it as the White Sox off-season truly begins this weekend.

Early White Sox Off-Season Buzz

And the narrative that the White Sox have spent all their money isn't entirely accurate...at least it shouldn't be.
