Chris Getz, the general manager of the Chicago White Sox, emphasized improving the team's front office through modernization rather than relying on free agency this offseason. Coming off a season with 121 losses, the priority shifted to hiring innovative staff like manager Will Venable and director of hitting Ryan Fuller. With ownership reluctant to invest heavily in free agency, the strategy involves a rebuild focused on drafting and international talent, despite projections indicating that even top players would not guarantee a significant turnaround for the struggling franchise.
The most important thing for Getz to do this offseason was to bring the front office up to modern standards.
Getz was able to hire the highly sought-after Will Venable as the team's manager, along with forward-thinking baseball personnel.
