JayRoh's Offseason Plan - Sox MachinePREAMBLE I see the White Sox building on the 2026 season and competing for the division again in 2027. The roster needs a few tweaks, especially with pitching, but the team has a good core to build off of. ARBITRATION-ELIGIBLE PLAYERS Vargas is a no-brainer, Doyle’s defense is critical, and Brazoban because he’s inexpensive. OTHER…

How the 2026 White Sox beat projections, position by position - Sox MachineThe White Sox entered the 2026 season with remote chances of making the postseason, whether you judged them by ZiPS (6.6 percent) or PECOTA (1.5 percent), and the most educational part of the six-month viewing experience was seeing all the big and little things that went in to actualizing those single-digits probabilities. It took a…

Shaggy's Big Spending! (An Average MLB Payroll) - Sox MachinePREAMBLE The competitive window is wide open. I’m not asking for Jerry to be visited by three ghosts this Christmas, I just think it’s reasonable to expect a large market team in our situation to spend at least as much as an average MLB team. The median MLB payroll in 2026 was about $174M, so…

Coser's Offseason Plan - Sox MachinePREAMBLE The White Sox have a playoff-ready lineup with depth and talent coming up and/or back from injury.
