To get you hyped for Chicago White Sox 2025 baseball and specifically this Opening Day, Brett Ballantini brought in Chrystal O’Keefe, Joe Resis and Hannah Filippo for thoughts on Thursday, the weekend series, and the season itself:

• A 121-loss team with nothing to play for opens the season with just four rookies on the roster, two of them Rule 5 picks and none among hitters. For a vaunted farm system, what in the wild wild world of tanking is going on here?
• How’s the weather outside?
• Predictions on the series, and remarkably, three of us think the White Sox are gonna win this thing
• A review/range of White Sox wins predictions for 2025
• Popular “pitcher MVP” pick, Davis Martin and unpopular “hitter MVP” choice, Korey Lee. Passion defenses and takedowns of both players ensue
• If in fact Korey Lee is lousy (or, just, Korey Lee) this season, how quickly might that trigger catching reinforcements (Kyle Teel, Edgar Quero) from Charlotte?
• Favorite Opening Day memories
