Is it too early to look ahead to the next free agent class? Michael Conforto is having a down year and his price may fall into JR’s budget. Adding a solid contact-oriented LH hitter to play RF against RHP would be just what the lineup needs.

Very unlikely. Cespedes will be here late next summer or early the following year if he lives up to expectations. Colas is expected to sign with the Sox in January also and he's another likely OF. Sheets might end up being the 1B if they decide to walk away from Abreu in a couple years, but that's still not until 2024 I think. More likely Sheets gets traded, IMO, but he's good depth to have and there's no rush to get rid of him.

You may be right but Sheets is legit and has awesome power. He should be starting in right field right now instead of this joke of left handed hitters we have now. Lamb and Collins are worthless and when you add Mendick and Sebi into the discussion you have four guys hitting under .220 taking up way too much time in the everyday line-up. All year we have had a weak bench which evolved into a worse starting line-up . Now we are getting players back and still seeing, Lamb, Collins, Mendick, and Sebi in the line-up way too often.

Gavin Sheets cannot be excluded as the White Sox RF of the future. Sorry, Yoelqui fanboys."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

For 2022- I see Sheets as the LH option to Engel/Vaughn (RF), Abreu/Vaughn (1B), or DH (miscellaneous). Overall- not sure I see any major needs for the White Sox from the FA market. Kopech probably replaces Rodon in the rotation, the bullpen is pretty set, and there are no position players leaving from the starting line up.#1 White Sox fan in Leland, MI

Sure it's possible, but it's more likely a player who has all the tools to play RF will be that player in the future. Cespedes is the most likely answer at this time."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

Of course, I would love it if Cespedes lived up to his potential because he has a higher ceiling than Sheets. He also has a much lower floor.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...
