The White Sox roster is in
And the experiment begins

Mike Vasil also heads to the 15-day, but he will soon enough hit the 60-day for his TJS. While none of this is really breaking news, seeing all these names lined up is a nice reminder that depth is already being tested before the season even starts. We knew the DFA for Korey Lee was coming, but it still doesn’t make much more sense now than it did two days ago.
