Most likely, we’ll see most of these players in a White Sox uniform during a regular-season game, either in the ’15 season or the ’16 season, so keeping tabs on these players during the spring and once the regular season begins is a must.
Yesterday, following these signings, the White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers by a 6-4 score at Camelback Ranch.
For Thursday, the White Sox will face the Dodgers once again, with the Dodgers sending the reigning NL Cy Young award winner and the MLB Most Valuable Player Clayton Kershaw against John Danks of the White Sox at 3:05 p.m. ET.
