So Long

Erick Fedde picked up the win in the first game of a doubleheader against the Twins yesterday, and Michael Kopech pitched an immaculate ninth inning, nine pitches, nine strikes, three punchouts. They should both be gone in another two weeks or so. Fedde, who now has a 7-3 record with a 2.99 ERA, signed a two-year deal for $15 million back in December. I’m guessing a whole bunch of teams are dangling prospects in front of Sox GM Chris Getz. Kopech has one more season of arbitration before hitting the free-agent market in 2026. Did I mention he hired Scott Boras as his agent a few days ago? He gone. If the White Sox knew how to hit, which they don’t as evidenced by their eight hits spread over two games yesterday, they might’ve swept. Rookie Drew Thorpe had a 2-0 shutout with one out in the sixth inning before giving up back-to-back jacks to Brooks Lee and Carlos Correa. Still, six innings pitched with three hits and two runs allowed isn’t bad. Michael Soroka is another story. Soroka gave up the winning run to push his record to 0-10. Yes, 0-10. Imagine the possibilities once Getz moves Kopech.
