Ahoy!

At Sox Machine, we reserve the final full week of the offseason for Prospect Week, and we wrote up 60 White Sox prospects over the course of five days before unveiling our dueling top-10 prospect lists, which you can read below.

Pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday, but James has already reported to spring training in advance of Chris Getz's season-opening media session at Camelback Ranch. Thanks to your support, we'll have in-person accounts for the first two-plus weeks of the spring, and we're looking forward to brining you our exclusive reporting.

Also, the White Sox are bringing back Erick Fedde on a one-year contract. More details to come on that front.

With White Sox pitchers and catchers reporting on Tuesday and Chris Getz speaking to reports at Camelback Ranch on Monday, Prospect Week draws to a close with the publication of our top 10 White Sox prospects.

Over the course of the last five days, we've reviewed 60 White Sox prospects by sorting them into five bins that are all free to read

What Sox Machine subscribers pay for is our attempt to think that we've developed a sense of the future so keen that we can put them in a specific order that captures their ability to reach the majors, and provide some prognostication of impact when they get there. We do not revise these rankings at any point during the season because updates are for cowards. What follows will be left exposed to the elements, and in about eight months or so, we'll see whether they survived with any semblance of their previous credibility.

Catch up on our coverage of the White Sox farm system with 60 prospect write-ups as their 2026 seasons are set to begin.
