terrysharon+FollowSouth Side Snags Newcomb: Big Lefty Joins SoxThe White Sox front office is on fire this offseason! After shocking everyone with the Murakami signing, they just added former first-rounder Sean Newcomb for $4.5M. Newcomb, a 6'5" southpaw with a revived arm, posted a 2.73 ERA last year splitting time between Boston and Oakland. If he keeps the walks down, he could be a real weapon out of the pen. Are the Sox quietly building an AL Central sleeper? #Sports #Baseball #WhiteSox00Share

Tammy Sellers+FollowWhite Sox eye Rays closer for bullpen boostAfter a brutal 2024, the White Sox aren’t settling for small steps forward—they’re reportedly eyeing Pete Fairbanks, the Rays’ proven closer, to anchor their bullpen. Fairbanks has racked up 75 saves since 2023 and boasts a solid 2.98 ERA, making him a potential game-changer for Chicago’s late-inning struggles. Even with Grant Taylor emerging as a reliable arm, the Sox know one pitcher can’t carry the load. If this move happens, it could signal a real shift in how seriously the team is taking its rebuild. What do you think—would Fairbanks be the missing piece? #Sports #Baseball #WhiteSox10Share
