Entering the 2018-19 offseason, it was conceded that the White Sox, in a year where they weren’t expected to be highly competitive, had holes at DH, right field (after Avisaíl García proved not worth entering arbitration with), and a shortage of starting pitchers.
While nobody can fault them for holding a casting call for a lot of prospects and fringe pickups, the utter failures of Daniel Palka, Ryan Cordell, Charlie Tilson, Nicky Delmonico, Dylan Covey, Manny Bañuelos, Dylan Cease, Carlos Rodón, and Carson Fulmer to lock down a roster spot left them in the same position for the 2019-20 offseason.
