February 17, 20215 yr https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/predicting-next-offseasons-top-10-mlb-free-agents-shortstops-lead-list-noah-syndergaard-is-best-starter/ Conforto, Syndegaard (sincerely doubt this one) and J.Gray (he of the 6.69 ERA) look like top targets, but pretty bleak unless a lot of opt-outs occur or options are declined. Jose Ramirez could be available, but mo way he ends up with the White Sox. Since Thor is high volatility like Kopech, that route is closed if he has a huge year because he will become the top of the market. Not that many directions for the White Sox to add those final 2-3 “finishing pieces” without taking on salary. At this point, the competitive window is at the mercy of incoming revenues that won’t impact the Dodgers, Padres, Yankees, Braves (well, to an extent) and the Mets. That’s the competition, with the Blue Jays charging quickly from behind. Edited February 17, 20215 yr by caulfield12
February 17, 20215 yr Conforto would be an ideal fit for the Sox lineup, but I'm not holding my breath about it.

February 17, 20215 yr I firmly believe the "championship window" was a deliberate illusion from the get-go. This ownership is either dumb as hell or insulting our intelligence.
February 17, 20215 yr Bryant could definitely be a fit in RF and I don't know why the Sox would be out on any of the available SS other than the front office is allergic to building depth. Semien and Simmons both are signed to one year deals this year on top of the 4 listed in this article. If Madrigal can up his ISO closer to .100 then I would be fine passing on adding another middle infielder, but if he's the same guy as last year I would see what type of value you can get for a slap hitter under team control for 5 years in a trade.
February 17, 20215 yr I don’t think we’ll look to free agency for a starting pitcher. I think we’ll land a nice starting pitcher via trade at the deadline this year or next offseason.
February 17, 20215 yr Author Corey Seager is the guy I’m targeting and putting him at second or even RF, and the DH mix as well. Unfortunately, the only way we can afford him is if he gets injured again. Peak Seager is a $200-250 million player, but the injury history creates significant downside risk.
