  1. I'd be shocked if he's back for 2027. I was told he was gone this year because the relationship with some others in the booth was untenable. I was very surprised when he was announced to return. He had a year left on his contract though. I know of multiple young broadcasters from other markets who were expecting to interview for the PBP job last offseason in anticipation of an opening.
  2. Here are prospects 16-30: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/03/31/futuresox-chicago-white-sox-2026-pre/
  3. It’s so hard to know if the DSL guys are ever anything. He definitely strikes out way too often. Thanks for reading.
  4. Here is the just missed list: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/03/30/futuresox-2026-white-sox-preseason-ju/
  5. Here's the FutureSox roster preview: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/03/27/2026-white-sox-affiliate-preview-char/
  6. The above is fair but it's tough to assume that the Sox didn't take the best offer for Houser "just because" though. I don't think they turned down a bunch of good offers and panicked to settle on the TB package with 5 minutes left in the deadline. Benintendi had a 97 wRC+ vs RHP last year.
  7. So is the implication here that the front office declined better offers for Houser to ultimately choose Mead, Peoples and Davitt 5 mins before the deadline? Keeping Benintendi isn't a front office decision. The owner doesn't like paying players to go away.
  8. I believe this isn't allowed, I think @Y2Jimmy0 discussed this on futuresox YouTube (might be getting my Sox social media confused) Why? He would be retuned to the Red Sox if he doesn’t make the team and then you figure he can be the PTBNL that our Sox select and come back to us. I'm lost on the Benintendi thing. He's on the team because the owner doesn't like paying people to go away. He's not relevant at all in this discussion. They don't like Lee and don't want him catching regardless of what anyone says publicly. I wasn't expecting him to be rostered until Teel was injured. I'm surprised by the reaction to the move. Venable knows and likes McGuire. McKinven clearly trusts him more as well. We'll see if they're correct.
  9. Yeah the reaction has been puzzling for sure
  10. Maybe. They don't typically draft 1B anymore
  11. I’m very confident that it’ll be prep
  12. They’ll go significantly overslot at 41. It’s overwhelmingly likely to be a prep player with that strategy.
  13. I’d be totally stunned if pick 41 isn’t a high school player
  14. I’m not sure it was as simple as, “Sox don’t want to trade in division”: It was more nuanced than that. Twins wanted money, Sox liked Dodgers deal better than what Minnesota would actually do etc. I’d heard the day before the trade happened that the Reds were offering Zach Maxwell straight up for Robert. No idea on $$.
  15. From what I understand, Twins and Sox talked about Fedde. Couldn’t agree on players. Twins wanted Sox to eat money and Sox needed Keashall to consider it. Twins weren’t interested.
  16. Mike Shirley was in attendance. Maybe this performance will prompt him to recommend someone else.
  17. I think he'll be up pretty quickly. I don't think Hagen develops his third pitch while throwing in the minors. There's just not enough opportunity to throw it No. He's the 2B. Acuna will basically be the every day CF. Antonacci is definitely pushing guys though. I'd be surprised if the Sox carried Lee. I'd also think Cannon gets optioned and they keep a R5 arm.
  18. I’d be shocked if Antonacci or McDougal made the team.
  19. No. He’s gonna be good. He’s not Konnor Griffin or JJ Wetherholt though
  20. By like midseason, yeah. Start in Winston this year, finish in AA. Big league invite to ST, start in AA or AAA with a call up basically at any time.
  21. I wrote some about Cholowsky and looked at White Sox potential bonus pool in Draft Notebook 2.0 today: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/02/22/white-sox-2026-mlb-draft-notebook-2-0/
  22. It will be pretty underwhelming unless he gets a lot better
  23. I doubt they negotiate with anyone. They’ll try and reach a deal with Roch or they’ll just take him anyway. He’s not going back to school.
