With the 1973 season in the books, the Chicago White Sox face a number of challenges for the upcoming season. First, there are rumors that free agency may go into effect as soon as next season. This is a major concern for Sox fans because team owners Arthur and John Allyn have been hinting at selling the franchise. With ownership up in the air, team finances are shaky at best. Free agency would no doubt be difficult for the franchise. While the Sox have been slowly adding younger players to their roster, veterans such as Dick Allen, Wilbur Wood, Pat Kelly and Carlos May may be difficult to resign under a free agency system. Then again, this is a team that lost 91 games last season. Perhaps a major roster shakeup would be the best thing for the future. As the winter months pass, the Sox front office prepares for the upcoming draft . . .
