For a team like the White Sox, who have made it clear that they won’t be a factor in the markets of the top free agents this offseason, improving the roster for 2026 might take some creativity. Despite a 19-win improvement in 2025 and the expectation that there will be continued improvement in 2026, the bulk of the offseason moves will likely be short-term veteran acquisitions. Two years ago, Chris Getz got creative when looking for starting rotation upgrades, signing RHP Erick Fedde out of the KBO and later flipping him for assets. The White Sox could follow that blueprint and make a similar move this offseason.
