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.

Minnesota certainly has to do something about its bullpen. The 2025 club fell back in the standings in the summer, which prompted the front office to get into seller mode. They leaned hard into selling from the relief corps. Controllable arms Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Louis Varland and Brock Stewart were all sent packing, alongside rental arm Danny Coulombe. That left the Twins with a hodgepodge bullpen for the stretch run, consisting of waiver claimees and veteran journeymen.
