The clear priority amid Chicago’s rebuild should be the development of young talent, and GM Chris Getz will have to toe a difficult line in free agency. If Getz adds too many established MLB players, he’ll be blocking important developmental opportunities, but if he adds nothing of substance at all, the franchise’s overall progress will slow to a standstill.
Chicago’s pitching staff doesn’t have a world of room for additions, but adding a veteran arm or two would give some underlying sturdiness to the club’s youth movement.
Even better, the White Sox could seek out experienced arms who have pitched in Chicago before.
