No, Nick Madrigal did not make the White Sox 30-man Opening Day roster.
But 30 other players did.
The White Sox announced the group that will begin the season Friday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Fans will flock to the fact that Madrigal, the organization's highly touted second base prospect, did not make the Opening Day roster, and he'll instead head to the team's alternate training site in Schaumburg. How long he'll be there, though, is a mystery. While the White Sox have never said that service time plays a role in their decision-making process, it is a reality of the game, even in this shortened season, meaning Madrigal's stay away from the big leagues might not last longer than about a week.
