The White Sox were one of few teams that made noise this offseason, but one cannot help but feel they left their winter work half-unfinished. They are just opening their championship window built around a dynamic rotation trio, a cadre of electric young starts signed to long, team-friendly deals, and a stable of high-velocity arms just entering or on the precipice of entering the majors. They looked at the cost-cutting measures of their AL Central foes and decided to make a go of it.
With all this infrastructure in place, it was a bit curious they were not active players for the services George Springer, Marcell Ozuna, or Eddie Rosario.
