Tim Anderson expected to return Monday for the White Sox. Eloy remains on the inactive list in Charlotte.

Or it could be the fact Cleveland's new hitting coach, Chris Valaika, studied for nearly a year at a baseball lab (Sparta Science). Chris prepares a focused game plan for each player, based on each day's opposing pitchers. https://www.news-herald.com/2022/05/23/hitting-coach-chris-valaika-key-to-guardians-improvement-at-plate/ Reminds me of when McCann began preparing each White Sox starting pitcher for their starts, whereas Don Cooper focused on the pre-game buffet and had one size advice for all. I recall a spring training video showing Katz working with Crochet or Cease. Grandal said something to the effect of Cooper limiting what pitchers could throw and Katz saying they were moving on from that philosphy. I believe that video was made private by the White Sox.

Well, if Tony decides he no longer wants to pursue Connie Mack's record, or is physically unable or unwilling to deal with travel and other obligations of a manger, Tony can always slide into Kenny's spot. Jerry can crown Tony President of Baseball Operations, befitting with his qualifications. Tony will bring in Dave Steward as GM. Hahn will switch from being Tony's direct report as he is today to Dave Stewart's special advisor to handle contracts and paperwork. Tony can trade say Vaughn and/or Robert to Kansas City for the rights to his guy and the man he mentored, Mike Matheny, to become the next White Sox manager. Dave Duncan's son will be promoted to bench coach, with Tony's veterinarian friend's son taking over analytics,

From what I've read, Duncan's son is responsible for analysis Tony uses for defensive positioning, lineup construction and in game "decisions". Ethan Katz is a professional coach hired by a professionally run MLB franchise, the team which has won "multiple championships" TM , whereas GM Rick Hahn is limited to bullshitting about winning "multiple championships" TM. Ethan Katz is the opposite of a crony, actually worked to make multiple MLB clubs better, whereas Duncan's son was brought into The MLB during Tony's Reign of Error in Arizona and has been associated with two of the worst staffing debacles of the past decade. Tony's other crony "analytics expert" was a veterinarian friend of his. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2014/11/18/ed-lewis-a-former-veterinarian-is-the-diamondbacks-new-director-of-analytics/19229543/ TM filed by Rick Hahn, 10/26/12.

Meanwhile White Sox & Cub owned networks squander credibility. https://www.robertfeder.com/2022/06/13/white-sox-cubs-networks-squander-credibility-suspicious-editing/#more-33664

$3.75M a year through 2023 per Heyman, plus crony salaries for the expanded staff such as Dave Duncan's son.

Add to OP 2020: Cishek $6M 2021: Renteria's Extension, Eaton $8M (or of you're generous, $4Mish after he was DFA'd). 2022: Too early to tell for others, Kelly may be on the list if he doesn't have a good second half and or 2023. Hopefully Lynn and Eloy can stay healthy and produce.
