The Chicago White Sox are undergoing a significant payroll cut, reportedly dropping to $47 million if they trade Luis Robert Jr. This comes from a current $66.4 million figure, which has led them to rank 29th in payroll within MLB. General Manager Chris Getz cited evolving roster dynamics, emphasizing the need to provide younger players with opportunities before solidifying long-term contracts. This strategy follows disappointing performances from long-term investments like Eloy Jiménez and Robert, both of whom faced injuries and underwhelming offensive outputs.
"So much of this, it’s a roster that’s evolving. Younger players are going to get opportunities to see what they can do before we make a longer-term commitment."
