PREAMBLE Going into the 2021 off-season, the White Sox are ready to blow that contention window wide open. They have the talent and payroll flexibility most teams dream of. Their young cost-controlled players are all starting to flash and are still...
PREAMBLE First, in an offseason unlike another, my sincerest hope is that Jerry finally zigs when everyone else zags. We have all been wondering if the money that was not being spent the last decade was being saved up, if it was, now is the time to...
PREAMBLE Hello brothers and sisters! This is my first time doing the SOX Machine Offseason Plan Project. That said, I’m a huge roster projection nerd, so I thought this seemed fun! Following the Sox explosive 2020 where they had the 162 game...
James McCann and Alex Colome are entering free agency; upgrades are needed in the starting rotation, right field and DH.
Alex Colome has been a key member of the White Sox's bullpen the last two seasons while converting 42 of 46 save opportunities. If Colome exits as a free agent, the Sox might look at Garrett Crochet in the closer's role.
PREAMBLE The 2020 Chicago White Sox gave us plenty of fun memories. From four straight homeruns to start a hot streak, to Lucas Giolito’s no-hitter vs Pittsburgh and near no-hitter vs the A’s in the playoffs, there are numerous positives from the...
Its time to make bold moves, and time to win the world series. Manager-Joe Espada, bench coach for the Houston Astros. He’s been the bench coach for three straight trips to the ALCS and last year’s trip to the World Series, first under Hinch and...
When the White Sox clinched a playoff spot on September 17th, it was actually mildly emotional for me. Not only was it the first time my 6-year old son could watch a White Sox playoff game, but to think of all the time and money spent over the last...
It’s time to spend the damn money already. I have taken my SSS plan and tweaked it a bit, but most of the moves remain the same. ARBITRATION-ELIGIBLE PLAYERS Nomar Mazara: Non-Tender, never wanted him anyhow. Carlos Rodón: Non-Tender, if he takes a...
PREAMBLE It’s going to be a weird off-season, folks. This plan accounts for some of the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming season (and in the case of one free agent signing, cashes in on some of that uncertainty) while keeping the Sox on track to...
The White Sox have a history of signing their young talent to long-term deals. Could Lucas Giolito be the next?
Alex Colome converted 12 of 13 save chances in the regular season for the Chicago White Sox but is set to become a free agent. Will he return? And if not, who is in line to take over the duties?
Budget: $150,000,000 PREAMBLE 2020 was, overall, a great year for the White Sox. There were some rough spots that need the front office’s help (SP, DH, RF), and some that we’re hoping don’t (Moncada). Overall, I had a few major goals in putting this...
Including updated thoughts on Adbert Alzolay, Ke'Bryan Hayes, and a bevy of relievers.
