Sox In The Basement

In the modern baseball era a tale has been told that teams must tear down, acquire prospects and fail for years. If they do this, they'll win a championship.

He may never help the White Sox make it to the postseason, but Tommy Pham matters to the development of a better team.

Is Pedro Grifol the worst White Sox manager of your lifetime? He's checking all the boxes, even when he's being tossed from a game. Jerry Reinsdorf keeps trying his old tricks, but this time the billionaire doesn't seem to be crafty enough to even deliver a proper threat.

If you are looking for something to watch with hope, look no further than the rotation of the Chicago White Sox. Chris Flexen is out and two young pitchers with upside join a legit ace-in-the-making and a solid back-end veteran. Mike Clevinger may push out Mike Soroka soon and Drew Thorpe seems as inevitable as Thanos. Most managers could do something with these arms finally rising to the surface, but is Pedro Grifol the right guy? Recent decisions have us showing the White Sox skipper the door.

Former World Series champion A.J. Pierzynski is taking shots at the organization. Pedro Grifol is trying to put Gavin Sheets in the OF while his GM is signing Tommy Pham. Chris Getz is seemingly selling players for cash to gather cash for free agent purchases.

They're not going to save this mess, but they should bring hope of a not-so-distant future White Sox team.
