So who takes the spot in the rotation?  Lorenzen or someone else?

Roster Resource, after this news, has the rotation as: Fedde, Soroka, Flexen, Crochet (I highly doubt he makes the OD rotation), and Nastrini. You figure maybe one of the MiLB deal guys could make it or Lorenzen like you said.

In a middle relief role or do you make him a long-reliever? Touki has been terrible and shouldn't be guaranteed a spot whereas Banks could also be your long-reliever.

Yeah, the couple times I watched Touki pitch in ST he has gotten clobbered.

So many other people have gotten grief, but this guy has never been able to get out of his own way, all of the way back to breaking his hand punching a teammate.

I agree. Kopech's biggest problem has always been Michael Kopech. He seems to be emotionally fragile.

It has been so frustrating watching Kopech pitch.  He seems to be in his head from the first pitch.  As someone else mentioned, Kopech's biggest issue has been himself.

I'm hoping going to the bullpen helps.  Maybe less pressure will be better...but I'm not optimistic.

No reason for this given the chances of contention

No but the kid can't get out of the second inning. Put him in his most successful position hes had from the last few seasons and see if he can regain confidence. It seems they're trying to promote competition in camp so rewarding someone who is struggling would counter that.

I would like to go back in time to pre-2023 and tell people here at Soxtalk that the only pitcher in the 2023 White Sox rotation who will make a start for them in 2024 is likely to be Touki Toussaint.

Perhaps "let's trust Bannister" is no longer a good reason to justify stuff like the Mena trade or the guys they got from SD.

One of his key jobs was to save Kopech and he already failed. 

Nothing cracks me up more on sox talk than the amount of credit/belief given to coaches for established players development or lack there of.
