The only real intrigue remaining in these last few exhibition games is who will be the White Sox starting 2B on opening day and how soon Yoan Moncada returns to the lineup. It looks like the unfortunate answer to the first question is Leury Garcia will be at 2B indicating the organization will play the service time game with Nick Madrigal to begin the abbreviated 2020 season. I can’t wait for the b.s. explanation from management because you know damn well it won’t be the real reason.
