Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz made his first trade after being promoted on November 17, 2023. The deal sent left-handed relief pitcher Aaron Bummer to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for a collection of five players.
The return package to the White Sox was headlined by former All-Star starting pitcher Michael Soroka. It also included infielder Nicky Lopez, infielder Braden Shewmake, left-handed starting pitcher Jared Shuster, and right-handed minor league arm Riley Gowens.
Gowens, 24 at the time of the trade, was the only player in the deal without big league experience.
