PREAMBLE
The White Sox need to be flexible. They need to go into the season expecting to win 85 and earn a playoff spot. Although we hope the young talent leads the team to success, their starting spots shouldn’t be written in pen. Finally, pitching depth is paramount.

Andrew Benintendi and Tanner MacDougal to the Angels for Joel Hurtado
SUMMARY
Trevor Rogers, Shota Imanaga and retain as many pitchers as possible. Pitching depth is paramount. If, (extremely big if), he doesn’t consume training staff time I like Robert as Grichuk insuranc. He should be easily flippable as well. I don’t believe in Tanner MacDougal and Benintendi’s salary needs to be dumped. This is how I get that done.
