Getz: Grant Taylor Moving Into Rotation; Adding Further Starting Pitching Is “Top Priority”
The White Sox enter the offseason with a clear need in the rotation, and it sounds as though they’ll plan to address it both internally and via some outside additions. General manager Chris Getz said in an appearance with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (audio link) that hard-throwing reliever Grant Taylor will move from the bullpen into the rotation. The Sox are planning to keep left-hander Hagen Smith in a relief role for now, however. Any further rotation additions will come from free agency or the trade market.
“We’re going to exhaust the starter market, both free agency — we’ll take a look — along with trades,” said Getz. “That is our top priority.”
