Any help for the lowly Chicago White Sox is likely to come from the inside

CHICAGO — At the very end of an awful season for the Chicago White Sox, there was a small sign of hope in the Deep South. We know your farm system is a strong indication of what our major league club is going to look like.” As part of a letter to fans that was released on Sunday, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf promised the organization would do everything it can “to fix this for 2025 and the future.” “This will include further development of players on our current roster, development within our system, evaluating the trade and free agent markets to improve our ballclub and new leadership for our analytics department,” Reinsdorf wrote, “allowing us to elevate and improve every process within our organization with a focus for competing for championships.” While Chicago’s lineup was atrocious this year — and it doesn’t look as if there is much help on the way — it’s a more positive picture on the mound. “In terms of optimism, you look at the farm system, where our pitching is and the potential of what our rotation looks like for next year and the years in the future,” Getz said. Getz also could talk to former Marlins manager Skip Schumaker, who played for White Sox adviser Tony La Russa in St. Louis. “He has identified the key attributes and preferences for our next manager and has already begun an exhaustive search with a wide range of candidates to lead the White Sox in the clubhouse and dugout.” ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
