This offseason has been quite the roller coaster. One day, it looks like the Chicago White Sox are not in the running for Bryce Harper and/or Manny Machado; the next day, we are back in contention for both; the day after, we’re only in contention for one.
In the meantime, the White Sox are in something of a holding pattern until those players decide where they want to spend the next decade of their careers. While we’ve added some complementary pieces since October (Manny Bañuelos, Alex Colome, James McCann, Yonder Alonso), the Sox have yet to officially land that major star who could help expedite their long-awaited return to the playoffs.
