Good morning!
With the lockout finally lifted, free agency can finally resume. As both Jim and Josh have noted --and Rick Hahn has confirmed-- adding pitching depth seems to be the priority as we enter this heady time of a whirlwind of signings, though second base, backup catcher, and right field are also possibilities.
Perhaps you have forgotten, but the White Sox have already made two free agent signings, way back on November 30. The hope, of course, is that there will be more to come and that those signings represent something other than one-year contracts and/or bargain bin options: as both the former and the latter tend to be chosen...poorly.
So, let's try and remember the free agent signings from this off-season as well as off-seasons of the past. Today's Sporcle asks you to remember the top free agent contracts in White Sox history: no extensions included. In all, there are 37 names: how many can you get? Good luck!
