It may be time to ask Santa Cohen for the world if the White Sox are truly willing to tradetheir closer. We're giving you our White Sox Christmas Wish List in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

James Fox of FutureSox joins in to react to the Andrew Benintendi signing and look for the right answer at 2B. Is the best option left in the White Sox system, or is this the position that gets addressed with a trade? Will Oscar Colas now be the presumed starter in RF, or is a competition brewing? We talk about the need to get faster and better defensively before the 2023 season in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

We give you the one left fielder that could start to turn this off-season around, and several that would make us groan as rumors swirl that a signing (or trade) could be incoming. In the midst of 10-13 year contracts being handed out around baseball, are the White Sox behind on a trend that could prove to be financially beneficial in the long term? We break down the numbers and use two recent White Sox stars to illustrate why some players are worth the big money and years in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Do the White Sox understand their own fanbase? Does winning create more fans or do more fans create a bigger budget for winning? We bring in a case study on the difference in Sox fans and Cubs fans over the past several decades, along with attendance/payroll numbers in the Jerry Reinsdorf era to get to the truth. Plus, a look at Victor Reyes and the social media red flags we keep seeing from Tim Anderson in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

We also visit with Jason Martinez of Fangraphs & RosterResource to take a deep dive into roster construction around Major League Baseball and team payroll flexibility in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Rick Hahn speaks lawyer-speak from the MLB Winter Meetings after full details surrounding Mike Clevinger's (odd) contract are released. Liam Hendriks seems to be the early trade piece the White Sox are trying to move and it makes sense. We explore one of the teams rumored to be interested and a possible return, and we also decide we are never going to the doctor again in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings run from 12/4-12/7 in San Diego, and we're prepping for what the White Sox should do - and will likely do - at the event. Andrew Borders covers the Sox for Overtime Heroics and joins us to give his best bet for a trade aquisition and trade chips he thinks are on the block. Meanwhile the retention of Daryl Boston on the coaching staff answers a long-asked question about the team. (We told you so.) Listen to "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The Chicago White Sox added Mike Clevinger to their starting rotation on a reported one year deal as Jose Abreu offically left the team for greener pastures. The starting pitcher should be a solid addition to the 2023 rotation. The length of the contract and current payroll restraints may point to the next move coming very soon. We break down what may happen next, explore Clevinger's value & learn more about him from Dave Marran, the Sox Nerd.

Looking at the current White Sox roster, who do you trust on the mound? Even after Rick Hahn spent way too many resources on his bullpen, it still has issues. The starting rotation needs help. The question is how many arms need to be added? We find the guys we trust, the guys we're hopeful about and the guys who will likely not be relied upon in 2023.

After Rule 5 protections and arbitration tender decisions, the White Sox 40-man roster sits at 35. Looking only at positional players currently in the organization we ask the question "who do you trust?" There are lots of good reasons for optimism in 2023, even if the roster is incomplete. We go position-by-position to create a base lineup and identify a few target additions that could point the White Sox in the right direction.
