It will be a surprise if the White Sox don't make the postseason, only two years removed from a 121-loss season.
Strike 3: Could Derrick White’s CU gig could lead to similar moves?
Raising profiles and millions at the same time... could White's new role become more commonplace within college athletics?

The Buffs should be improved, but they'll have to face what might turn out to be the nation's best conference in the Big 12.

It’s been quite a while (DJ LeMahieu from the Cubs for Ian Stewart and Casey Weathers in 2011 ?) since the Rox “won” a trade…
Strike 1: Could LeBron James really fit in with the Denver Nuggets?
He'll likely return to the Cavaliers, but let’s pretend for a moment that James decides to take his talents to the Mile High.

Strike 1: Coaching errors add to Rockies' pitching woes
The Rockies' bullpen has few defined roles... and that's a problem.
Strike 3: Would Jokic take a Brunson-style pay cut to help Nuggets?

Strike 1: Should the Avs promote Bednar to GM, hire Carle as coach?
Getting more out of less is the best trait a coach can have. Denver Pioneers head coach David Carle has it.
Strike 3: Moving to the bullpen could help Kyle Freeland, Rockies
Clearly, what Freeland and the Rockies are doing isn’t working for either side.
