MESA, Ariz. — The White Sox have a pretty wide-open competition for the final two spots on their roster with anybody and everybody in consideration.
Even though Adam LaRoche’s retirement leaves the White Sox without a backup first baseman behind Jose Abreu, manager Robin Ventura said his team probably has enough options to handle the workload. The White Sox will consider all options, including a 13th pitcher, as they figure out how to break camp in 11 days.
Chief among the competitors are outfielders J.B. Shuck and Jerry Sands, who homered twice in a 6-2 White Sox victory over the Oakland A’s on Sunday, and infielders Matt Davidson, Carlos Sanchez and Travis Ishikawa.
