For the third offseason now, I’ve helmed a White Sox front office for SB Nation’s offseason simulation project. This year it was SSS staffers Luke Smailes and Tommy Barbee helping me out with free agent targets and trade acquisitions.
Each year, the simulation is run each year is run by Max Rieper of Royals Review, and I have no idea how it does it. Max is both the administrator of the entire offseason, but also the superagent in charge of negotiating every free-agent deal.
And on top of that, each of these offseason sims seems to be getting shorter.
