Locked On White Sox - Daily Podcast On The Chicago White Sox

Fans wait for significant moves to be made by the Chicago White Sox while Dylan Cease will wait for his Cy Young. It was a minor move but it was still a move by the White Sox. The Sox recently acquire left-handed reliever, Nate Fisher, to help with the shaky left-handed Sox bullpen. It wasn't anything flashy but waiting for impactful moves to be made by the front office is something White Sox fans have unfortunately gotten used to. Sox starter, Dylan Cease, will have to wait his turn for the Cy Young award. Cease was runner up to Justin Verlander for the 2022 AL Cy Young. Cease had a remarkable season and finishing 2nd to Verlander should not dimmish those accomplishments. Also, 50 years ago Dick Allen had one of the greatest seasons in a White Sox uniform and won the AL MVP award.

The Chicago White Sox added infielders Bryan Ramos and Jose Rodriguez to the 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 deadline. Ramos is the 5th ranked prospect in the system and Rodriguez is ranked 7th. Ramos and Rodriguez provide even more depth for the White Sox, especially at second base. Rodriguez provides plenty of threat on the basepaths while Ramos might actually be best suited for a corner outfield position but of course, time will tell. The White Sox roster is now at 38 players and there are nine infielders. We won't now for a while what the actual White Sox roster will look like come spring training but if everything that has been said is true, the White Sox should be a much better prepared team under Pedro Grifol in 2023.

The Chicago White Sox are hoping to get a boost in 2023 by players returning to form. It's been no secret that the White Sox are not planning to spend a lot of money this off-season to address critical needs. The Sox are planning to explore the trade market but are also hoping key players return to their accustomed levels. A resurgence by Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal should be one of the organization's top wishes. Grandal is staying in Chicago this off-season to best prepare himself for spring training. Aside from players returning to form, what else needs to go right for the Sox to recapture the AL Central? Rule 5 and non-tender deadlines are this week. Who will the Sox protect and could the White Sox actually extend Dylan Cease before he ever hits free agency.

Coming to terms with José Abreu's departure from the Chicago White Sox as MLB free agency is in full swing. José Abreu has been a staple on the South Side since 2014 and if all the speculation is true, Abreu will sign with another team in the near future. Abreu is a White Sox legend and his accomplishments will hopefully never fade away. As MLB free agency gets going, will the White Sox be aggressive or continue to operate like a small market team? If the White Sox elect to use the trade market as a means to improve, could Lucas Giolito really be dealt? And since the fall of 2016, when the great rebuild was initiated, the Chicago White Sox have just two playoff wins and one division title. It was not supposed to be this way.

Rick Hahn addressed areas of concern for the Chicago White Sox at the GM meetings in Las Vegas. Hahn spoke recently about the White Sox internal options at second base but did not rule out the chance for external help. Players like Romy Gonzalez, Leury Garcia, Danny Mendick and Lenyn Sosa are all options but White Sox fans are hoping for something better. With A.J. Pollock declining his option, the White Sox will need to address the outfield. Could Oscar Colas be the right fielder on Opening Day in 2023? Hahn was noncommittal, of course, but spoke highly of Colas and recognizes his talent. What will the Sox do about solidifying the starting rotation? Could 2023 be the year of Davis Martin? And, you will not want to hear where Jose Abreu may be headed.

Dylan Cease is a Cy Young finalist and A.J. Pollock decides on his future with the Chicago White Sox. It seemed like a sure thing but A.J. Pollock surprised a lot of Chicago White Sox fans by declining his $13 million 2023 option. Pollock decided on a $5 million buyout instead and has provided the Sox with perhaps an unforeseen scenario. How will the White Sox use that money? Hopefully it will be used to address the various roster question marks. White Sox starter, Dylan Cease, is a finalist in the Cy Young voting. How have the White Sox fared over the years when it comes to MLB Awards. Maybe the White Sox should just celebrate their own history instead of waiting for national recognition? The Sox had a top payroll in 2022 but missed the playoffs. It's not necessarily how much you spend but what you spend it on.

Tim Anderson is in and Josh Harrison is out... so what does that mean for the Chicago White Sox in 2023? Both decisions were expected but will the White Sox now make a big splash at second base or simply go with internal options? It was around this time last year that the White Sox declined an option on Cesar Hernandez and Sox fans thought that a long term solution at second base would be what the White Sox would target. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The White Sox need to address the starting rotation. Could a homecoming by Chris Bassitt, Jose Quintana or Carlos Rodon actually happen? Historically, November has not been a month where the White Sox have attacked the trade or free agent markets but maybe with a new manager and direction, the Sox will change tradition.

The Chicago White Sox have decisions to make before a potential new look roster can take shape. With the World Series wrapped up, free agency has begun and the trade market is open for business. This is a time of hope and sometimes delusion for White Sox fans. How high will White Sox owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, allow the spending to go? Spoiler: It's usually a question of, how low will the spending go. The White Sox have financial constraints but have opportunities to make their money go far. Will the White Sox bring Josh Harrison back? Is Jose Abreu in the cards for 2023? Deciding on Harrison and definitely Abreu will show what characteristics the roster will have under Pedro Grifol. We know defensive will be a priority as will offensive analytics. Sources point to Matt Tosar being appointed as the new hitting coach. The Pedro Grifol era has begun and the White Sox have a lot or work to do.

The Chicago White Sox made it official and announced Pedro Grifol as their new manager. The White Sox held a press conference on Thursday morning to introduce Pedro Grifol as the 42nd manager in franchise history. General manager, Rick Hahn, was also on hand to talk about Pedro Grifol and provide insight into the hiring process. Grifol said all the right things and laid out some early plans on what fans can expect from the White Sox in 2023. Grifol prioritizes: communication, playing with passion as well as pride and fundamentally sound baseball. Hahn appeared very pleased to be taking the White Sox into this new direction. Former Toronto Blue Jays manager, Charlie Montoyo, will be the new Sox bench coach and Ethan Katz as well as Curt Hasler will be retained but fans should expect many new faces on the coaching staff. Grifol has an impressive resume however this will be his first MLB managerial experience. Can he get the players to buy into his message?
