27. Chicago White Sox : 67-95 (Fourth in the AL Central)

MLBtraderumors.com should have all of you Chicago White Sox fans excited about the future, with some good news (and prospects) heading to the Windy City.

"The White Sox were able to give fans a glimpse of the future as Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito, and Reynaldo Lopez made their team debuts this summer. They’ve got six of the game’s top 100 prospects waiting in the wings with Eloy Jimenez, Michael Kopech, Luis Robert, Blake Rutherford, Dylan Cease, and Alec Hansen.  Zack Collins, Dane Dunning, and Carson Fulmer follow on their top prospect list. And don’t forget about Tim Anderson and Carlos Rodon, who have already experienced big league success."

Let’s not forget about 2017 first round pick Jake Burger, who will be a staple at third-base for years. He is, give or take, a year from getting the call to the majors. When Burger is called up, he’ll be here to stay.

Missouri State University baseball keeps producing successful Major League players. Do Ryan Howard and Brad Ziegler ring a bell? If the Sox can snag Jeremy Eierman from the Bears after the 2018 College baseball season in the MLB draft, their middle infield will be elite not only at the plate but defensively as well.

Locking up both Avisail Garcia and Jose Abreu to long-term deals is a must. Eyeing some of that free agent pitching would not be a bad idea either with the likes of Lance Lynn and Jake Arrieta waiting for a friendly, fat contract.

The Chicago White Sox are a few year away from being actual contenders, but when the likes of Burger are MLB-ready and if they could lock in more viable veteran presence, look out MLB. Trust the process, Sox fans!
