He was thrust into action while only getting a handful of game at-bats. Despite the challenges, he parlayed it into a successful first year in Minnesota.

That much is already a given. Jhoan Duran is established as an elite arm, Jorge Lopez was an All-Star closer in 2022, and Griffin Jax has emerged as a high-leverage arm.

	How did last season go?

	With clowns to the left of them and jokers to the right, the White Sox finished&#x2026; 2nd in the AL Central&#x2014;not quite stuck in the middle, but close enough to make the difference negligible.&#xA0;
