With the passing of the Super Bowl, there’s no real indication that the current MLB lockout will be ending anytime soon. Certainly, when the lockout ends, there will be a mad dash by all teams to sign free agents and make key trades to boost their lineups and rotations prior to Opening Day — whenever it falls. And the MLB portion of the Rule 5 draft may still transpire, which could mean either additions or deletions to depth.
Speaking of depth, the White Sox have made several under-the-radar acquisitions during the offseason. The most obvious additions have been free agent reliever Kendall Graveman, in addition to premier international outfield prospects Oscar Colás and Erick Hernández.
