Chicago White Sox
In their most recent match, the Chicago White Sox were defeated by the Cleveland Guardians with a score of 8-4. Paul DeJong and Leyen Sosa both had a homer and two RBI each, but despite seven batters having at least one hit, the team couldn't come together for a win. The bullpen struggled, giving up five runs after starting pitcher Jared Shuster allowed two runs in two innings. In the off-season, the White Sox made minimal moves in free agency, with the biggest being a one-year deal for Paul DeJong. They also made significant trades, including sending Aaron Bummer to the Braves for a package including Mike Soroka. Drew Thorpe will make his fifth start in the major leagues, showing improvement after a rough second start. Currently, the team is ranked #21 in power rankings, with a struggling offense and defense, and a record of 25-64 this season. It will be a learning experience for both Thorpe and the team as they work towards improvement.
