Question was asked to Scott Merkin in his mailbag. Answer:


Why haven't the Sox signed Brian Dozier and who will be playing second for the White Sox on Opening Day?
Dozier has signed with the Padres since this question was submitted, but it deserves an answer. Nick Madrigal, the No. 4 White Sox prospect and the No. 40 prospect overall, per MLB Pipeline, eventually will be the team’s starting second baseman, barring something totally unexpected.


It’s just a question of when he officially takes over that role. It’s somewhat difficult to convince a veteran to sign on if the starting job might only be his for a few weeks or a month. Look for Leury García to start at second at the outset, while Danny Mendick also will get playing time.

Yeah I think eventually it will be Madrigal with Leury playing RF against left handed pitching and giving guys a day off elsewhere. Leury also a late inning defensive replacement for Jiminez.
