To answer the question in the headline if the Chicago White Sox are done making moves … no they are not.

While the team should be able to contend as is, it could use some additions in regards to depth. Looking at the current bench, it is not very good.

Right now the backup catcher is Rob Brantly. From the rumors online, the Sox seem interested in Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro. Now just because they are interested in Castro doesn’t mean that a trade to bring Castro to Chicago wouldn’t cost them Tyler Flowers. Nor does it mean catcher is a main priority right now.

The infield depth is a major problem, outside of first base.

Since they have limited experience coming off the bench, it is likely the Sox will have to explore external options. The big question is what type of player would they target?

It would have to be a player that could not only be able to play the infield, but some outfield spots as well. One injury to a player such as third baseman Conor Gillaspie or shortstop Alexei Ramirez and the Sox could find themselves in a serious bind.

That’s why it is key to find a player that is at least MLB quality at multiple positions, especially the left side.

Outfield is a problem as well. While after the Melky Cabrera signing, it looks as though Dayan Viciedo is on his way out the door on the South Side. If the Sox can find a taker, they should jump at the chance, but only for equal value.
