March 27, 20223 yr This is the year of fruition, where the seemingly effortless one-sided transactions of the White Sox shrewd general manager and peerless 4D stratagems of their field manager will become self-evident as they bring home a gold-plated trophy to their humble grateful owner and leader.

March 29, 20223 yr From The Athletic's off season review. https://theathletic.com/3200369/2022/03/28/mlb-offseason-grades-for-all-30-teams-jim-bowdens-guide-to-a-wild-winter-and-whats-next/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983 Chicago White Sox Grade: B- Free agents: RHP Kendall Graveman, 3 years/$24 million; RHP Joe Kelly, 2 years/$17 million; INF/OF Leury García, 3 years/$16.5 million; INF Josh Harrison, 1 year/$5.5 million; RHP Vince Velasquez, 1 year/$3 million The biggest needs of the White Sox this offseason were second base, right field and bullpen depth. They didn’t land Javier Báez or Marcus Semien in free agency to play second base, but they did retain Leury García and sign free agent Josh Harrison, a versatile pair who can share the position and play at an adequate level. The White Sox did not land an upgrade for right field either, but with Adam Engel, Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets, they should be fine. And in the bullpen, they’ll be more than fine, as they now boast the best bullpen in the AL (and second best to only the Braves in MLB, in my opinion). Kendall Graveman is an excellent fit, and his sinker from the right side is the different look this bullpen needed. They also added the power arm of Joe Kelly, who, excluding his first appearance in May after recovering from shoulder surgery, last year pitched 43 innings (47 outings) with 50 strikeouts, a 2.08 ERA and a .149 batting average against. Unlike last offseason, the White Sox didn’t make a huge trade or free-agent signing, but they didn’t have to as I have them winning the division by at least 10 games anyway.

Not that it matters much since they probably wouldn't have re-allocated the resources into RF.

This sounds like one of those "Stop Whining" posts.
