The Chicago White Sox are facing a historically poor season, prompting grim predictions for 2025. General manager Chris Getz indicated a lack of competitiveness in free agency, focusing instead on acquiring low-cost players to potentially trade later. This approach mirrors last year's lackluster offseason strategies, raising doubts about the team's rebuilding efforts.
The White Sox's farm system ranks No. 11 in MLB, but their recent history of trades and poor performances questions the efficacy of their rebuilding plan. Following a previous successful rebuild in 2021, they are struggling with player turnover and fan loyalty.
As the team plans minimal investments, owner Jerry Reinsdorf faces skepticism about the sincerity of their future commitments. Fans are left wondering why they should continue supporting a franchise that seems to repeat failures with little promise of improvement.
