The Chicago White Sox's 2024-2025 offseason under GM Chris Getz is marked by both improvements and questionable decisions. While player development strategies have led to key additions, the retention of Andrew Vaughn stands out as a significant misstep. Vaughn's underperformance and high price tag create concern, especially when comparing him to standout players from the same draft class. The Sox's effort to push Vaughn for a breakout year, despite a lack of evidence, raises doubts about their strategy, particularly when roster depth remains a pressing need.
The Sox keep wishing Vaughn would be a star, but he hasn't lived up to expectations.
Despite his underwhelming performance last year, the Sox brought him back for one, perhaps final, year, for $5.85 million.
