White Sox Photo Day!

On a number of levels, it’s not nearly as fun doing this without Liam Hendriks posing with a batting helmet, grabbing a bat like the Australian return of Greg Luzinski, and just generally making it a lot of fun being the photographer who is clearly getting tired with School Day poses from players who probably don’t want to be in the room under lights.

Unfortunately, this year we are without Liam (keep fighting and get well soon, Slydah!), but still we press on and sort through hundreds of shots across services to bring you the best and favorite of Spring 2023.

In some cases, even the stars took some boring shots, so they got skipped. However, notably absent from the proceedings: Lance Lynn and new manager Pedro Grifol.

• Tanner Banks saw Jake Burger pick up on what Dylan Cease did last year and, well, the razor concession for the 2023 White Sox may not be lucrative. Norm Hall/Getty Images
• He’s trying to hide, because at this point the trend is getting trampled to death and Dylan might have to shave, but Davis Martin has seen Cease’s success, too. Norm Hall/Getty Images
• No truth to the rumor that in case of further Yaz injury, the White Sox are requiring that Carlos Pérez sleep with his catching mask on. Norm Hall/Getty Images
