Breaking down White Sox' offseason needs as GM meetings open in Las Vegas

As Major League Baseball's general manager meetings begin in Las Vegas, the Chicago White Sox face an urgent offseason agenda before the collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1. General manager Chris Getz has emphasized the necessity of upgrading the roster, particularly after the team's starting pitchers threw the fewest innings across MLB in 2026.

With under $100 million committed to next year's payroll, the writer highlights starting pitching, corner outfield defense, and relief pitching as the club's primary priorities. Free agents such as Michael King and Michael Soroka represent potential rotation targets, while departures in the outfield and bullpen require immediate reinforcement.
