The Chicago White Sox are bracing for another challenging season under newly appointed manager Will Venable, as general manager Chris Getz emphasizes a long-term vision over immediate success. With the team facing potential 100-loss seasons, Getz is focused on building a sustainable roster despite limited payroll commitments from chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.
Key players like All-Star Garrett Crochet and center fielder Luis Robert Jr. may be on the trading block as the Sox seek to enhance their struggling offense. Getz is open to trades that could bring in young hitters to complement their promising pitching staff.
As the offseason kicks off, Getz is determined to avoid shortcuts in rebuilding the team, aiming for a disciplined approach that prioritizes the organization's future while keeping competitive aspirations in mind.
