It's a TERRIBLE idea for the White Sox to CHASE a reunion with Yoan Moncada

The Chicago White Sox risk repeating past mistakes by considering a Yoán Moncada reunion. Is bringing back the oft-injured third baseman the franchise’s worst offseason move yet? Todd Welter scrutinizes Moncada’s declining performance, questionable work ethic, and injury history, contrasting him with rising option Miguel Vargas and the team’s prospects at third base. The discussion spotlights why the Moncada rumors could derail the club’s “change” narrative and why fresh faces deserve the South Side spotlight.

Key topics include updated White Sox prospect rankings, with Caleb Bonemer emerging as a franchise cornerstone, and a breakdown of failed trade negotiations involving Luis Robert Jr. and the Cincinnati Reds.
