    MEANINGFUL Progress: Why Chicago White Sox Must Focus on Internal IMPROVEMENT, Not Just Hot Starts

    Chicago White Sox fans face a critical question: Is a fast start enough, or is meaningful progress the true goal for 2026? Todd Welter contrasts Chris Getz’s “see where the year takes us” philosophy with the harsh realities of a massive rebuild, emphasizing the importance of internal improvement and not gambling the future for a fleeting hot streak. With the White Sox projected for another tough season, Host Todd Welter asks whether fans should embrace a measured step forward—even if it means 70 or 80 wins. Key topics include the potential relocation to Northwest Indiana, the battle between Lenyn Sosa and Chase Meidroth for second base, and the real impact of veteran non-roster invites like Brandon Drury. Can the young core, featuring Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel, and Munetaka Murakami, spark hope?
