Even without Manny Machado, there's plenty to talk about at SoxFest

Just in time for weary fans, SoxFest finally arrives this weekend at the Hilton Chicago.

Coming off a 100-loss season and starting Year 3 of the rebuild, the White Sox find themselves in an unusual place, waiting for their top prospects to blossom while trying to add a nine-figure free agent for the first time in franchise history.

No compatible source was found for this media.

Patience may be a virtue, but fans wouldn’t mind if the Sox fast-forwarded this thing a bit.

The Sox have spent most of the winter pursuing free agent Manny Machado like a dog chasing a car, making a lot of noise but so far failing to land their prey.
