With pitchers and catchers reporting this week and games underway at the end of next, it seems time to cinch it up and hunker down to discuss the prospects of the 2025 White Sox. Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Chrystal O'Keefe, Hannah LaMotta, Joe Resis and Brett Ballantini gather to discuss the club as constituted, trying at the dawn of the season to skew optimistically:

  • Things to be excited about? Yes, truly: Pitching depth, hungry and healthy players, Noah Schultz continuing the "tradition" of White Sox power lefties, a better offense
  • Several great thematic ideas for a second or third printing of the White Sox pocket schedule
  • An aside that frames the 2024 White Sox as a team not just a handful of games worse than a replacement team, but perhaps a full dozen
  • The relief of having Will Venable running the club vs. Pedro Grifol (or Tony La Russa), and the challenges that await him
  • (Of course) win predictions on the season, ranging from 42 to 59
  • Oh, and happy birthday to Billy OK and homeday to Willow OK!
