The Chicago White Sox seem to have a lot of options for their starting rotation in 2020. They are going to make sure that they come up with the best possible rotation to give themselves a chance to win enough baseball games to be in contention for the division title. There is potential for this starting lineup to be extremely dangerous so they just need pitching to back it up.

This could end up being a rotation that ends up looking a little bit different at the end of the season than it does at the beginning. There are some guys that will be looking to come back at different moments of the season from injury so that could also play a major factor in it all. The fact right now is that there are seven guys that will make up a five-man rotation. There is the possibility that they move two of them to the bullpen at different stretches but you never know how it shakes out. It is good to have depth, however.
