Are the Sox contenders?

No.

I wouldn't give Keuchel 3-4 years, but it's nice to see Chicago going for it.

Absolutely thrilled with this signing and depth Sox have in SP staff now

Giolito
Kuechel
Gonzalez
Lopez
Cease

Sounds like Sox will be cautious with Kopech and not rush him back right away to start off year while Rodon isn't expected back until at earliest middle of season

Still need a DH/OF to really cap off the offseason

I love that we’re making moves to be relevant. Even if we’re not making the playoffs, it’ll be a very fun team to watch moving forward.

I doubt they win more than 75. Mediocre roster.

I doubt they win more than 75. Mediocre roster.

They won 72 with an absolutely garbage rotation and holes all around.

I'll be very surprised if adding Keuchel, Gio, Grandal, Robert, Madrigal, & Mazara only gets them 3 wins.

Don't think they're done, either.

Plus the Indians are about to liquidate. There's only one other good team in the division.

80-82 wins, maybe. The rotation still won't scare anyone. If Giolito pitches like he did for most of the year they have a decent "ace". But Keuchel and Gonzalez are mediocre at best and Lopez and Cease are still almost 6-something ERA guys until they show a lot of improvement. The lineup is decent but I don't see them cracking the top contenders (Dodgers, Yankees, Astros etc) or the second-tier playoff teams either like the Twins, A's, Rays. Maybe it will all work out.

 

[darko]

Depends on their young guys. If Eloy takes the next step and Robert and Madrigal come in and play well I could see them winning 85-90 games.

This has to have been one of the best signings in offseason

9 Starts
6-2 record (Tied for 2nd among starters in AL)
2.19 ERA (2nd among starters in AL)
32 K's
12 BB's

Very happy with Keuchel he has been everything we wanted in a veteran starter

Great signing, White Sox can make a run this year.
