"White Sox Add Bryan Shaw on Minor League Contract"
The Chicago White Sox have re-signed right-hander Bryan Shaw to a minor league contract with an invitation to attend the team's big league spring camp. Shaw had a solid performance last season, delivering a 4.14 ERA over 45 2/3 innings out of the White Sox bullpen. This marks Shaw's third minor league deal with the White Sox in under a year, and his return provides a familiar face within a relief corps that has undergone significant changes. The team has also added veteran arms to fill gaps in the bullpen, signaling a mix of rebuilding and bolstering the roster.
"New White Sox Stadium Renderings Unveiled for South Loop Location"
A proposed White Sox stadium in Chicago's South Loop, part of a larger redevelopment plan for the area, aims to bring in billions of dollars in economic impact, create thousands of jobs, and attract 5 million visitors annually. The plan includes renderings of a revamped stadium and a proposal to reconstruct the current stadium as a soccer venue. The project also envisions affordable housing, residential units, an office building, a hotel, and public spaces.

"Prospects for White Sox Stadium Move to South Loop Spark Discussion"
Renderings have emerged for a potential new White Sox stadium at The 78 site in Chicago, with negotiations ongoing between the team and developer Related Midwest. The conceptual designs show the stadium anchoring a high-rise district, with the Wells-Wentworth Connector reconfigured to bend around the stadium and a new public plaza along the Chicago River. The megadevelopment has stalled, but landing the White Sox as a tenant could inject momentum into the project, as the team considers a move from Guaranteed Rate Field when their lease ends after the 2029 season.
"Yankees and Mets Vie for White Sox's Dylan Cease Amidst MLB Trade Frenzy"
The New York Yankees are considering a trade for Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease, but the asking price is reportedly very high, potentially involving three top-100 prospects. Critics argue that Cease, with an inconsistent track record and control issues, may not be worth such a steep price, especially given the Yankees' need to maintain their major league depth and farm system. The Yankees have other options and may prefer spending money over trading valuable prospects, with the organization particularly hesitant to part with prospects like Jasson Dominguez, Chase Hampton, and Will Warren.
"MLB Trade Buzz: Yankees, Cardinals, and Red Sox Eyeing White Sox's Dylan Cease"
The New York Yankees are showing interest in trading for pitcher Dylan Cease, as reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The Yankees, along with the Baltimore Orioles and other teams, are considering Cease as a potential addition to their rotation. The Yankees' interest has grown after missing out on Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who signed with the Dodgers, and considering other free agents like Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. Cease had a less impressive 2023 compared to his 2022 season, but his overall performance and controlled salary through arbitration make him an attractive option. The Yankees, facing competitive balance tax implications, may find Cease's lower salary more appealing than signing a high-priced free agent, although acquiring him would require trading away valuable young talent.
