At the very least, no W’s flying all damned winter.
Hawk has officially retired. (Optional, for those who inexplicably don’t find any cheer in this.)
Only 18 months until Michael Kopech’s triumphant return to the mound.
Only 6 months, or so, until Eloy Jimenez’s major league debut. Probably.
James Shields has (probably / maybe) thrown his last pitch for the Chicago White Sox.
Jace Fry looks like a keeper (as a baseball player, anyway) and hasn’t gotten hurt yet.
It’s really unlikely Trayce Thompson visits Chicago as a non-tourist ever again.
