Chicago White Sox

Manager: Rick Renteria (third season). 2018: 62-100, fourth place. First Workout: Feb. 13/18. He’s Here: RHP Ivan Nova, 1B-DH Yonder Alonso, RHP Kelvin Herrera, RHP Alex Colome, OF Jon Jay, C James Mccann, OF Brandon Guyer. He’s Outta Here: OF Avisail Garcia, DH-INF Matt Davidson, RHP James Shields. Going campin’: The White Sox would love to jumpstart their rebuild by signing Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. Even if they don’t land one of the prized free agents, they believe they are setting themselves up to start climbing. They have promising players on the roster and in the farm system. Touted infielder Yoan Moncada and pitchers Lucas Giolito and Michael Kopech — who will miss the season after having Tommy John surgery — have shown potential in the majors. Eloy Jimenez, one of baseball’s top hitting prospects, could debut early this season. Dylan Cease might also get called up and join the rotation at some point.
