Another week, another White Sox signing as they add Steve Cishek to their bullpen. Where does he fit with the relief pitchers, and who is the leading contender to fill in the eighth reliever spot?
Plus, the White Sox finalize arbitration signings and have an estimated payroll of $122 million. Does the front office have another move left this offseason?
This week's P.O. Sox questions from our Patreon supporters:
Mark Hope
The Sox aren’t the only team to not have their new Nike jerseys on sale yet but could the delay be because we’re getting a uniform update in 2020? Perhaps to be revealed at Sox Fest?
Derek King
Given that there will be exceptions, there seem to be two approaches for a team coming out of a rebuild: aggressively deal prospects in win-now moves or conserve the prospect war-chest to fill holes internally. Generally, the former aims to be great for a shorter period of time while the latter aims to be good for a longer period of time. Which of these approaches to you expect the Sox to tilt towards? Which would you like them to tilt towards?
Andrew Segall
Thinking about the moves the Sox have made, I feel really excited about this upcoming season. How do you feel as both fans and bloggers?

Are the Sox going to get a platoon partner for Nomar Mazara or are they THAT all in on the Mazara swing change that Tom Verducci talked about on MLB Network?
Matthew Masini
Now that the Sox are relevant again, is there any chance that the Athletic column comes back? What happened with that in the first place (if you can divulge)? I don't know how you always find things to write about with this team, but am never bored reading it.

If you had to pick an obscure Sox player name to have on the back of your jersey, who would it be and why?
