Autumn Dreamin

Could be good for continuing to build the Sox brand in Japan

He's in extended spring to start

Fuaske triple, Carlson RBI single is a solid way to start

Or not

Quick learner

Schultz done after 5. Gave up a solo shot but didn't really break a sweat otherwise. 5K, 2H, 1BB. Sat 96-97. Only 7 whiffs on 26 swings today, but located well with a 72% strike rate and 15 called strikes. Cutter looks good. Becoming quite apparent that much of his struggles were injury-related last season.

Yep, lots of opportunity here. The 5% overage is actually just shy of $900K, so they'll have ~$18.5m total. Unfortunately, there will still be months of "Jerry will cheap out at 1OA" and/or "the Rays/Pirates will outbid them for Roch" ahead.

Promising to see multiple mentions of the bat speed development having impact

Fedde pitched better than his line. Acuna's hustle run last night remains the only ER allowed by the Marlins' pen in 5 games. Tonight was the Sox first game without a HR. I miss Mike Vasil.

5 balls in play for the Sox, all over 96mph EV Also worth noting Mune's 105 EV (and near 80mph bat speed lol) vs. a 96.5mph fastball

Vargas enjoying some home cooking

Now underway

FWIW, Davitt also got a mention:

Lots of last year's draft class debuting in Kanny, including Carlson and Fauske.

The White Sox are currently responsible for 50% of the league's grand slams this season, which is on pace for ~60 (2025 MLB total was 120). Alternatively, they have hit a grand slam in 50% of their games, which is 81 slam pace. They hit 3 all last season (Montgomery, Vargas, Benintendi).

Grifol snuck back into the Royals clubhouse?

Like Gio, still unsigned. There was a little chatter around him (Giants IIRC) in the winter, but nothing since.
