Late Monday morning, as White Sox players took live batting practice at Camelback Ranch, Giovanni Soto took the mound for his turn.
Settling in behind the plate to catch him was none other than Geovany Soto.
If you think that’s confusing, imagine what it’s like for the pitcher and catcher who are both trying to earn a roster spot with the Sox this spring.
“It’s kind of weird, especially in the clubhouse and on the field because when someone says Gio, we turn around to see if it’s for him or for me,” Giovanni said through a team interpreter.
