Jake Eder is probably the most controversial prospect on this list, as he was traded for fan favorite Jake Burger. Jake Burger went on to improve on almost every facet of the game in Miami, helping lead Miami to the playoffs, while Jake Eder struggled after the trade. This extra critique is unfair...
The main piece in the Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly trade to the Dodgers, Nastrini was a fourth-round pick by the Dodgers out of UCLA in the 2021 draft. Nastrini was not particularly outstanding at UCLA, as in three years there he had a 4.73 ERA in 23 games, 15 of which he started. He would only pitch...
The next prospect, Bryan Ramos, is another prospect in the long line of players in the White Sox system to be signed from Cuba. He signed as a 16-year-old in 2018 for 500,000 dollars and would eventually come stateside in the following year. He would play well in the Arizona Complex League as a...
One of the first prospects on this list who has gotten some sort of playing time in the major leagues, Rodriguez is one of the more toolsy players in the organization. Unfortunately, the White Sox did not give Rodriguez an at-bat in his limited major-league debut, which is pretty insane, but that...
Ky Bush was included in the Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez deal at the deadline, getting sent over with Edgar Quero. This was a nice addition, as he could be a very solid end-of-the-rotation lefty for the White Sox in the near future. Bush, a second-round pick of the Angels in the 2021 draft from...
One of the prospects with the highest ceiling on this list, Cristian Mena could be one of the better international signings from the White Sox as of late. Mena was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2019 for $250,000. He would finally make his way stateside in 2021, where he would pitch at the...
One of the most underrated prospects on this list, Jonathan Cannon could be in the White Sox rotation as soon as next year. The White Sox third-round pick out of Georgia in the 2022 draft, Cannon has impressed and moved quickly through the organization. After three years at Georiga, Cannon...
Another year of late October baseball has arrived, and again, the White Sox are nowhere to be seen. This is something White Sox fans have gotten used to, as they cannot win more than one game in a playoff matchup if they even make the playoffs. This was supposed to be a window of contention for the...
A pick eerily similar to the 13th-ranked prospect, Grant Taylor, Peyton Pallette also had Tommy John surgery right before his last college season. The White Sox would then draft Pallette in the second round, who if he had not gotten surgery, would have been a first-round pick. It is kind of crazy...
One of the most intriguing picks of the 2023 draft, Grant Taylor was selected by the White Sox in the second round. Most people pegged Taylor as a first-round talent heading into the season this year, but he suffered an elbow injury that held him out for the entirety of the 2023 season, which is...
Seth Keener, one of the first pitchers on this list from the 2023 draft, was a third-round pick out of Wake Forest. The White Sox seemed to have an emphasis on college players in this draft, as he was the third college selection they made out of three possible selections. It signals that the White...
With the recent reports from Bruce Levine that the White Sox are expected to pursue Whit Merrifield, one may wonder if he would be a good fit for the 2024 White Sox. To truly determine the extent of that question, we have to figure out what direction the White Sox will be headed next year. If they...
