KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - A decade removed from their most recent championship, the Chicago White Sox once again are eyeing a big season.
Their sights are set on an AL Central title after consecutive losing records, maybe even more. The White Sox added to their offense, boosted their rotation, overhauled their bullpen and sent expectations soaring.
''Obviously postseason first, and World Series,'' new closer David Robertson said. ''I mean that's what I look forward to every year. That's where I want to be.''
The addition of Robertson to the bullpen is among the reasons the White Sox believe they are armed and ready after going 73-89. But it's not the only one.
They added All-Star Jeff Samardzija to a rotation that already included ace Chris Sale. They added free agent Adam LaRoche to their lineup, giving AL Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu more protection, and brought in Melky Cabrera to solidify the No. 2 spot in the order behind Adam Eaton.
Is that enough to compete with Cleveland, Kansas City and Detroit in the division and make a run in the playoffs? The White Sox believe it is. Their fans are pumped, too.
With that in mind, here are some things to look for this season:
LINED UP: It would be hard for Abreu to match, let alone exceed, what he did last season. He batted .317 with 36 homers and 107 RBIs, one year after defecting from Cuba. While the White Sox tied for fourth in the AL in homers, they were just eighth in runs, ninth in batting average and 12th in on-base percentage.
LaRoche, who signed a $25 million, two-year contract, should give them power from the left side. He hit 26 homers and drove in 92 runs for Washington last season. Cabrera, a .301 hitter with Toronto, helps the top of the order.
''I think we're jelling together as a team. Hopefully that translates to wins in April,'' Eaton said.
SALE-ING ALONG: With Sale, Samardzija and Jose Quintana, the White Sox appear strong at the top of the rotation.
Sale made the AL All-Star team for the third time last season while going 12-4 with a 2.17 ERA with 208 strikeouts and 39 walks. Samardzija, acquired from Oakland, moves into the No. 2 spot. With Sale recovering from a broken foot, Samardzija - who grew up a White Sox fan - could wind up starting the opener at Kansas City after pitching the previous two for the Cubs.
CLOSING TIME: Chicago tied for seventh in the majors with 21 blown saves and had the fourth-lowest save percentage (63.2) last season. Robertson, who took over as closer after Mariano Rivera retired, saved 39 games for the New York Yankees last season. Chicago also brought in Zach Duke.
RODON WATCH: Whether he starts the season in the rotation or gets sent down to the minors, expect to see top prospect Carlos Rodon in a White Sox uniform at some point this season. The No. 3 pick in last year's amateur draft, he is on a fast track to the majors after three standout seasons at North Carolina State. Rodon, who made nine minor league appearances in 2014, could start the year in the rotation. If Rodon starts in the minors, veteran Brad Penny could make some early starts.
BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - A revamped lineup and change in attitude has the Boston Red Sox looking to repeat a feat they performed just two seasons ago when they went from worst to World Series champions.
Like the hip-hop song they blasted in their locker room after the 2013 division and World Series titles were clinched in Fenway Park, the Red Sox started at the bottom.
They've carried the theme over this season.
''There's a good vibe going around,'' said first baseman Mike Napoli, who rallies spirits in the clubhouse by growing beards with teammates. ''It feels a little like 2013 in here. We're just having fun.''
During this past offseason, GM Ben Cherington looked to grow a weak offense that finished 11th in the AL in scoring.
Cherington spent $88 million to sign Hanley Ramirez, who began in the organization's minor league system before stints with Miami and Los Angeles, and signed third baseman Pablo Sandoval to a five-year, $95 million deal.
It was a quick fix for a lineup that lacked pop besides another strong season by Big Papi.
''This has a chance to be a lineup that doesn't give the opposition too many breathers or take a hitter off - so to speak,'' manager John Farrell said. ''There's the ability to do some damage up and down the lineup.''
The 39-year old Ortiz posted a .263 average with 35 homers and 104 RBIs last season, his eighth time in 12 reaching 30/100 with the club.
The revised order still leaves the question of how Red Sox starting pitching will hold up.
Cherington moved quickly after left-hander Jon Lester opted not to return, signing instead with the Cubs.
The GM acquired right-hander Rick Porcello from Detroit for slugger Yoenis Cespedes, traded for lefty Wade Miley and signed free agent Justin Masterson, who was coming off an injury-plagued season. The trio is expected to join Clay Buchholz and Joe Kelly.
Some have questioned whether they have a top-of-the-rotation type. Buchholz thinks they'll feed off the doubters and strive.
''I think we're going to fly under the radar for the most part, which I think is a good thing,'' he said. ''At some point they're going to say, `They've got their stuff in order and they've got a pretty good staff.'''
They aren't hiding from how bad last season ended after going 71-91 and finishing 25 games out in the AL East.
''Our record says what we were, and that wasn't good,'' Farrell said.
---
A FUN TRIO
Just a few days into spring training, Ortiz dubbed himself, Ramirez and Sandoval as ''The Three Amigos.'' The three are expected to bring both pop and some interesting times in the clubhouse.
''This will be a lively group and, I think, a fun one to be part of,'' Farrell said. ''I think the biggest thing is, they love to play the game. You can see the joy come out of them when they do well, and there's no question they'll draw from one another - the confidence they'll draw from one another.''
---
NO STICKER SHOCK HERE
The Red Sox pledged more than $180 million to bring in Ramirez and Sandoval.
''The proven power hitter obviously has a hefty price tag attached to it,'' Farrell said.
Ramirez hit 13 homers with 71 RBIs. Sandoval had 16 with 73 and won a World Series with San Francisco.
---
KEEP QUIET AND PLAY
Shane Victorino, who had his 2014 season cut short by back surgery, isn't about to try to analyze what went wrong last season. He feels like it's time to move on and make up for it.
''You try to be the best team you can be,'' he said. ''Don't want to sit here and talk about this and talk about that. You've got to go out there and do it. There's no other way of looking at it.''
---
KEEP AN EYE ON THIS
Ortiz didn't want to listen to any new rules about speeding up the game by having batters keep one foot in the box in between pitches. He even joked that he'll run out of money if he's fined.
''This game has been going on for over 100 years,'' he said. ''It's the nature of the game. I don't care who you are, you're not going to change. The pitch comes through, you come out of the box, you come back in.''

*White Sox-Red Sox Preview* ===========================

By PAUL DIGIACOMO STATS Senior Editor

Chicago (46-50) at Boston (44-55), 7:10 p.m. EDT

The acquisition of Jeff Samardzija was one of the many moves the Chicago White Sox made in the offseason that had them believing they could make a run at the playoffs.

That hasn't been the case for the majority of the season and with Samardzija set to become a free agent this fall, he's the most likely candidate to be traded before Friday's deadline.

Samardzija takes the mound for what could be his last start with the White Sox on Tuesday night against the last-place Boston Red Sox, but Chicago's recent surge could make the decision on whether to deal him a little tougher.

The White Sox have been at or near the bottom of the AL Central all year behind the fewest runs in the majors, which could lead to them being sellers at the deadline.

Chicago, however, won 10-8 in the opener of this four-game series Monday after scoring 26 times while sweeping a four-game set in Cleveland. The White Sox (47-50), who have won nine of 10 on the road, are within 4 1/2 games of Minnesota for the second wild card.

"It's just the parity of the game right now. Within each front office of every team, they have an idea of how they feel it's going," Samardzija told MLB's official website. "Sometimes the record doesn't totally show the situation of the team, so I'm sure they assess that amongst themselves and go from there."

Contending teams would certainly be interested in Samardzija, who has turned things around after having a 4.93 ERA in early June. The right-hander has since gone 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA in eight starts, allowing one run and four hits in eight innings of an 8-1 win over Cleveland on Thursday.

Samardzija (7-5, 3.91 ERA) hasn't pitched against the Red Sox since 2012, though their top two offseason signings - Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval - faced him when he was with the Cubs and they were in the NL.

Ramirez is 8 for 19 with two doubles and Sandoval has gone 3 for 7 with a homer in the matchup.

The Red Sox added Ramirez and Sandoval after they finished last in the AL East in 2014, but it hasn't helped as that's again their place in the standings.

Boston (44-56) began to sell off parts Monday, sending outfielder Shane Victorino to the Los Angeles Angels for infielder Josh Rutledge. Rusney Castillo was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket and went 1 for 2 with two runs while starting in right field.

"We'd like to see him get a good chunk of playing time at the major league level and get comfortable with being here every day," general manager Ben Cherington said.

The Red Sox also brought in Wade Miley (8-8, 4.33) during the offseason, and like Samardzija he's been much better of late. The left-hander had a 5.07 ERA in his first 12 starts before recording a 3.33 mark in his last eight.

Miley gave up one run over six innings but continued to struggle with his command as he walked five in a 5-4 walk-off loss to Houston on Thursday. He's among the major league leaders with 44 bases on balls.

Miley didn't walk a batter and allowed two runs over seven innings to beat the White Sox 4-3 in his only matchup May 10, 2014, while with Arizona.
