Compared to most of my South Side Sox colleagues, I’ve been on the sunnier side as of late about the development of the team’s future outlook under the new regime. By no means did I think they’d be particularly watchable in 2025, but I did suspect that we’d see enough positive flashes from a fresh roster of young players to make it at least a little more worthwhile.
I still do think that. We’re about 1/15th of the way through a long season. For the most part, I don’t let the first two weeks of games swing what I’ve been thinking for the last two months.
