"General manager Chris Getz said after the Robert trade that the Sox would be "very active" in using that payroll space. Domínguez will make $8MM in the first season of his slightly backloaded deal. Even if the White Sox don't intend to reallocate all $20MM into this year's roster, there should be room in the budget for another addition. Getz acknowledged as much, saying on Thursday that the front office remains involved on both free agent and trade targets."
""We're still fairly active in free agency and also talking to other clubs," Getz said in a TV appearance ( video via CHSN). He made similar comments in a fan event before this weekend's SoxFest Live event. "I believe that there are going to be more adds. To what level, (I'm) unsure," the GM said (link via Scott Merkin of MLB.com). "What we can provide is opportunity and a runway, and some of these players we've acquired just haven't gotten that runway in other places for various reasons.""
Chicago signed right-handed reliever Seranthony Domínguez to a two-year, $20MM contract and plans to use him as the ninth-inning option. The club traded Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets, removing his $20MM salary from the payroll and creating budget room for further additions. Domínguez will earn $8MM in the first season of a slightly backloaded deal. General manager Chris Getz confirmed the front office remains active in both free agency and trade discussions and indicated more additions are likely. The offseason blends established relievers with upside picks such as Munetaka Murakami, Anthony Kay and Sean Newcomb as the roster rebuild continues.
