Staring down the barrel of this upcoming season, you might find yourself asking some very real and sincere questions about the makeup of your 2024 Chicago White Sox. Like, why were there only four starters on the Opening Day roster? How come Martín Maldonado is starting over Korey Lee? And what God did I forsake in a past life to be a White Sox fan during this era of South Side ball, and do I have anything to look forward to this season?
Chris Getz sat down last Wednesday with former Sox great A.J. Pierzynski, less great but still warm in my heart Todd Frazier, and the rest of the Foul Territory Podcast to reflect on his philosophy as GM from when he first took helm last August; setting his sights on “raising the baseball IQ of the organization” and attracting interest from around the league to ultimately put a talented product out on the field.
