The Chicago White Sox are on the rise in 2026.

The team’s disappointing 60–102 record in 2025 guaranteed that Chris Getz, Chicago’s executive vice-president and general manager since 2023, wasn’t going to trot out the same crew. Although progress has been noted, at seasons’ end, over Getz’s three years directing the club’s baseball operations, and after landing in fifth place twice and fourth place once in the American League Central, there is room for growth this coming season.
