Eloy’s goals: MVP, 40 homers — and health for playoff run originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago Eloy Jiménez called Michael Kopech “the Nolan Ryan of this generation” and Luis Robert “the next Mike Trout.” But he’s got some lofty expectations for himself, too. Earlier this spring, he said, “I think one day, I’m going to be the MVP.” He’s well on his way to showing he can put up the kinds of numbers that reel in that hardware. The White Sox slugger is fresh off what was quietly one of… Source link

Liam Hendriks adds big personality to Sox clubhouse originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago It probably didn’t take long for White Sox fans to notice Liam Hendriks’ on-field behavior when he faced off against his future mates in the playoffs last year.

But no, López is trying to do the same thing he’s been trying for years now: pitch consistently well as a member of the White Sox starting rotation. This might be his last chance, coming off back-to-back tough seasons and the White Sox officially out of… Source link

Three catchers unlikely for Sox, highlighting backup battle originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago As Tony La Russa and White Sox pitchers keep raving about the job every catcher in camp is doing, the idea of carrying three backstops isn’t a crazy one. But it doesn’t sound like that will be happening. “There is a lot of catching talent in this camp,” La Russa said before Wednesday’s spring game, a 6-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals. “Because of the quality of that talent, we thought about… Source link
