Chris Getz took over as the General Manager of the Chicago White Sox with an uphill battle in front of him.
On the heels of a failed rebuild that produced only two playoff appearances, and zero series wins, Getz faced a restless fanbase and a clubhouse mess.
As Getz approached his first offseason, it was clear that some changes needed to be made, and the first of which came fairly quickly. The White Sox sent lefty reliever Aaron Bummer to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for five players: LHP Jared Shuster, INF Braden Shewmake, INF Nicky Lopez, RHP Michael Soroka, and RHP Riley Gowens.
