Joe Binder: Andrew Vaughn will be released by the end of May.
Jordan Lazowski: Miguel Vargas will receive MVP votes.
Brandon Anderson: The White Sox will go on a decently long winning streak, maybe 10-12 games long.
Nik Gaur: Starting pitching will be pretty solid, but terrible offense and the bullpen will hold the team back.
Michael Suareo: One of their prospects will win the AL MVP.
Tim Moran: The pitching staff as a whole will be good enough to finish between 15th and 20th in the league in runs allowed.
Brett Haffner: The White Sox will have TWO All-Stars.
Maddie Spagnola: They won’t be the worst team in the league this year.
Tommy Gross: Bryse Wilson will be their closer by the end of the season.
Hunter Voss: The Sox won’t be last in the American League. That spot will belong to the Angels.
