If you’re a #WhiteSox fan ALREADY complaining about the Andrew Benintendi signing, I don’t know what to tell you. You’re just looking for something to complain about. The current outfield of Benintendi-Robert-Colas is really solid. And they finally spent money. What gives?

In my opinion, the best version of the 2023 #WhiteSox roster does not contain Yasmani Grandal. I’d trade for Sean Murphy or sign Christian Vazquez. I wouldn’t be opposed to signing Willson Contreras, or even a reunion with Omar Narvaez. Yaz just isn’t the answer.

I don’t understand why people want the #WhiteSox to trade Liam Hendriks. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. They don’t need to free up $, and they will likely not get reasonable value in return. Why would they trade one of the best players and only givens on the team?

Now that the #WhiteSox have their fifth starter, it wouldn’t be the worst thing if they were to end their free agent expenditure by signing Ryu and Puig. Fills the two biggest holes, then the Sox can add to the bullpen via trade.
