MLB.com's Scott Merkin outlines five key offseason questions facing the Chicago White Sox after their surprising 2026 postseason run ended in the Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians. Key priorities include reinforcing the starting pitching rotation behind Sean Burke, managing highly ranked prospects such as Caleb Bonemer, and contemplating a potential contract extension for star slugger Munetaka Murakami.
