The Chicago White Sox made a bevy of moves this offseason to prepare their club for the future.
There were so many, it’s hard to count. The pitching rotation is brand new. There is veteran leadership on the defensive side of the ball that should help. The White Sox batting leaves a little something to be desired but it will get better.
There were three that come to mind as being significant so far. One of them is glaringly obvious while the other two, although somewhat seemingly small right now, may pay dividends in the future.
In fact, they will pay dividends.
This team is seemingly on a road to nowhere. However, the moves that they made this offseason, in particular the three that we are going to look at, may have set their ship sailing towards better waters. You have to look through the moves and see the why behind them.
There is always something positive to look at in a crisis like the White Sox are going through right now. The Sox are going to be heading in the right direction sometime down the road. It will happen folks, it’s just going to take time.
Hopefully fans are patient.
So, without further delay, let’s take a look at the three offseason moves the White Sox made to help enhance the team, grading each one appropriately.
