The White Sox will likely not have a headline-grabbing offseason. Three things can happen for the White Sox to still have an eventful one.
Host Todd Welter breaks down why December 9th's MLB Draft Lottery could be monumental for the White Sox, with five legitimate number-one prospects available in 2026. He analyzes the December 10th Rule 5 Draft strategy, emphasizing the need for high-velocity pitchers after last year's successful additions. The discussion covers crucial coaching hires for pitching and hitting development, budget allocation for veteran support, and realistic win improvement targets for 2026.
Key topics include way-too-early power rankings from ESPN, USA Today, and The Athletic, plus an in-depth Minor League Monday report on top prospect Brandon Montgomery's dominant Arizona Fall League performance.
