As the MLB general managers' meetings begin Tuesday, the offseason work for the Chicago White Sox includes determining the best fits at shortstop, second base, right field and catcher, along with openings in the starting rotation and bullpen.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Chicago White Sox have been busy since the World Series wrapped up. Thursday, they introduced Paul Janish as the organization’s director of player development. The next day, the Sox declined the club option on closer Liam Hendriks for 2024 while starter Mike Clevinger declined a mutual option. The changes continued Saturday when the Sox declined shortstop Tim Anderson’s club option for 2024.
They were tied for 10th in the American League with 95 errors and tied for 11th in the league with a .983 fielding percentage. “Generally speaking, we certainly on the defensive side need to improve at many spots,” Getz said. “Fundamentally there were some breakdowns that led to some really ugly games. “We have some talent on the roster but it’s not a team that has come together and produced on a consistent basis and that’s why we’re in the position that we’re in.
