Here's my final attempt at a 5 round White Sox mock for FutureSox: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/07/07/chicago-white-sox-2026-5-round-mock-d-2/

Love our chances tonight. Get the W tonight and set up the rubber match for 11 straight home series wins.

I'm a fan of Chase Meidroth, but Will Venable batting him cleanup is almost a fireable offense. Park him at number 8 in the everyday lineup and leave him there.

He is beyond mediocre

Sam has literally been the only guy who has came to play for two days straight

Cool…it’s still bad baseball.

If the guys who are supposed to hit the lefties aren't going to do anything then we have zero shot.

My god, end the Perez experiment

Chase and Sam have to be in the line-up almost every game, regardless of the R/L platoon stats.

I blame this post for the goofy lineup

Venable is so frustrating with Meidroth

Seranthony Dominguez, get ready to learn Pittsburgh buddy.

It's well documented from multiple outlets. Bannister thought Taylor couldn't accumulate starting pitching innings quickly enough due to his injury history etc. Instead of pitching in a relief role in the minors; he's doing it in the big leagues. The expectation is that he'll come to 2027 spring training as a starter. The team has reservations about his health as a starter due to extension, pitchers with similar profiles etc but I believe that Taylor and his representatives will push for a chance to start.

Win the next two games by a substantial margin. I hate it with a passion when we lose to the Red Sox.

Win the game, please.

Did you happen to run into one of these guys at the end of last season? Or since Vasil is a wizard, perhaps he performed a memory charm on the Sox fan base after 3 100-loss seasons in a row?

Question for debate: is it possible the Sox have fixed Jordan Hicks? Small sample size, but since his rehab stint he has looked like a different guy. If he becomes a reliable option late, it changes the vibe of the pen immensely. Maybe the need to go outside the org is a lot less.

I love burning two moderatly high end prospects in relief roles.. I hope this wouldn't be another Taylor situation where he never even sniffs the chance to start. This year... fine - next year - start!

I love the EST! I’m in Orlando right now and was going to go this route had they won last night.

Jake Bennett vs Davis Martin Time to right this train, get it done boys!

Wishful thinking. Some team will offer more than a post-hype no bat utility man with no options left nearing 25 years old for Webb. Regardless, I don’t even think the Sox will be interested in Webb due to the money remaining on his deal. They aren’t paying Webb more money for the next 2+ years than they did for Murakami. Remember, Jerry still owns the team over the next 2 years. If they acquire a starter, it will be a much cheaper guy than Webb.

They have to ditch this stupid lineup.

Veneble will likely win manager of the year unanimously. It's a bad series but the Red Sox are also hot right now.

Cat videos here I come.

I kind of miss when the outcome of Sox games didn't mess up my mood and piss me off

I'm not sure I can sit and watch this, feels like they are just ready for the break and phoning it in

If somebody sticks a microphone in his face and asks him a question, he's going to talk about God and stuff. It's not like he's texting you and me.

Cant walk the lead off guy

If someone upstairs is making decisions like that it just shows how screwed up this organization is.

What's so difficult about making out a lineup card?

RBI oppo double for Mune's first AB

Teammates made him sit way too long in the top of the 9th.

While we wait, an old friend is spinning a gem: He's at 115 pitches

It’s absolutely bizarre they keep batting him 4th. I’d love to see the analytics they’re using that came to this decision.

My preference is still Roch but ive warmed up to the idea of Emerson and would be fine if they went that route. Either way, they will be selecting a really nice prospect.

Bennett is pretty tough so hopefully we get good Davis tonight.

From Kiley's final draft rankings. Sharing the top 3 guys that are in the mix for the Sox. He also goes into what could go wrong with these players. I also found it interesting that these 3 and Flora (49) are the only players that would crack his top 100 MLB prospects list. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/49297819/2026-mlb-draft-rankings-top-250-prospects-roch-cholowsky-grady-emerson-vahn-lackey

Bobby Jenks is terms of coming up as a rookie and filling the closer spot. Not suggesting he’s going to be as good as Bobby Jenks was.

another development year for this team and they ended up in 1st place we forget the developmet part

He was filthy last night. That running fastball looked like Skenes with its insane tail into RHH, and a nasty slider to pair with it.

75 hours til Roch

Martin has been great at home, sporting a 0.88 ERA. Can't wait for him to shove at 740 EST!

Man that Pereira concussion is serious. I also believe this likely effects how he plays when he goes to the wall or dives for a ball long term. You just can't help that it doesn't. I wish him the absolute best. It is not fun to experience.

HAROLD BAINES DAYS LEFT UNTIL WE DRAFT ROCH AND SPEND 18.4 MILLION BUCKS BOYS AND GIRL!!

Sandlin. He's a better option than Schultz currently IMO. Let's see how Sandlin looks when he gets a longer leash. He's definitely got the stuff to be good. Needs to improve his command.

I can't help but wonder if NS days are numbered on this team. He has control issues. They can't keep going with him if he can't get the ball over the plate.

Boston is red hot right now, these next two games won't be easy. Regarding Schultz, personally I think he needs to spend a lot more time in the minors learning his craft but I understand why the Sox brought him up. The starting pitching situation they are in is not good and they were hoping he could help. Maybe in three weeks after the trade deadline he's sent back down but right now he's very inconsistent from game to game and when you are in a divisional race like with Dominguez, how much rope can you afford to give him?

I envy you. Wish i didnt remember anything from 24-25
