Mostly still shopping in the bargain bin, and trading its top outfielder, leaves some room for flop sweat
As was written just yesterday, the White Sox may not have a seat at the adults’ table when it comes to offseason trades or signings, but GM Chris Getz has been active. The coaching staff was revamped and front office bolstered. And the discount shopping and bottom-feeding that have become trademarks of 2020s Jerry Reinsdorf clubs has continued.
That said, the White Sox made moves in preparation for 2026. The signing of Munetaka Murakami to a “Benintendi” deal was shocking and surprising, and for once in a good way, not bad. A couple of maybe-starters, Anthony Kay and Sean Newcomb, have been brought in. Austin Hays supposedly shores up the outfield, along with another couple of guys (Luisangel Acuña and Everson Pereira) who could be legit starters … or Charlotte regulars.
And there have been subtractions as well, most notably the trade of Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets. The coaching staff, including vaunted pitching coach Ethan Katz, got pink-slipped.
What about this offseason’s moves gives you the most flop sweat for 2026?
