White Sox announce players and prospects scheduled to attend SoxFest 2020

The White Sox on Thursday announced a preliminary list of players and prospects who will attend SoxFest 2020.

The event is scheduled for Jan. 24-25 at McCormick Place West.

The list of current players includes pretty much everyone fans would want to see: Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez, Lucas Giolito, Yasmani Grandal, James McCann, Tim Anderson, Michael Kopech, Dylan Cease, Aaron Bummer, Zack Collins, Leury Garcia, Evan Marshall and Danny Mendick.

The list of prospects includes the two big draws, Luis Robert and Nick Madrigal, both of whom will probably be in the big leagues before the All-Star break, if not before May 1.

Other prospects scheduled to attend include Andrew Vaughn, Steele Walker, Dane Dunning, Blake Rutherford, Luis Gonzalez, Tyler Johnson and Micker Adolfo.

You have to give Adolfo some credit. He's played only 379 games in the six years he's been in the organization, yet he still seems to be considered a good enough prospect to earn an invite to SoxFest every year.

Robert, Madrigal and Rutherford have been at SoxFest in years past, but it will be a first-time experience for Vaughn, Walker, Dunning, Gonzalez and Johnson.

There will be more "special guests" coming to this event, and more information will be announced in early January, according to a news release from the Sox.
