But the bar was incredibly low.

The White Sox continued to be busy this offseason, making a couple of trades over the weekend. They shipped right-handed relief pitcher, Gregory Santos, to the Mariners in exchange for right-handed pitcher Prelander Berroa and outfielder Zach DeLoach. They also picked up outfielder, Dominic Fletcher from the Diamondbacks in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect, Cristian Mena.

In addition, the Sox continued to sign as many cheap free agents as possible, signing outfield, Kevin Pillar to a minor league contract.

The White Sox are improving

Of course, the problem is they were so bad to begin with. How did the organization get so rotten from the ground up? The level of talent was low enough to be frightening.

The starting pitching is a complete roll of the dice. And the dice are loaded, and not in the Sox favor. The same can be said for the bullpen.

But at least the White Sox should be able to catch the ball in 2024. That’s no small matter.

What do the White Sox look like right now?

The outfield, from left to right looks like Benintendi-Robert Jr. and Fletcher. Kevin Pillar will likely catch on as depth. The same is true…
