White Sox Begin Spring Training After Record-Loss Season, Eye Incremental Progress

General Manager Chris Getz emphasizes patience and development as the team rebuilds under new manager Will Venable.

The Chicago White Sox are beginning spring training following a 2024 season in which they set a modern MLB record with 121 losses.
General Manager Chris Getz expressed cautious optimism, predicting more wins than last year but warning of ongoing 'growing pains' as young players develop.
The team boasts six top-100 prospects, including pitchers Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, but faces challenges such as Ky Bush undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Center fielder Luis Robert Jr., the team’s most notable player, is expected to start on Opening Day, though trade speculation continues as the organization considers its rebuilding strategy.
New manager Will Venable aims to guide a young roster while the team continues to evaluate talent and potentially make additional trades to bolster its farm system.
