Reports abound of potential White Sox targets in free agency and via trade. We sort through the Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr chatter and try to find a direction in the early part of this offseason. Is Getz laying a base, or will the roster be less than basic?

Sounds like a nifty musical group, but "Crochet and the White Sox Arbs" is the focus right now for this front office. The price for the All-Star pitcher is set, and only some teams can provide the ask. We'll explain why Chris Getz is in his element with this move. Meanwhile the team is already dropping arbitration eligible players, and the salary clearing makes sense at this stage of the offseason.

New manager Will Venable and hopefully the new Chris Getz front office are taking a look at what's already on the roster before making offseason moves.  If Garrett Crochet is traded, is that because the offers are too great to pass up or because he doesn't fit the new White Sox way?  We're talking about how this front office seems to be approaching the offseason and what that means for the future.  Plus, the Sox Nerd drops some info you never knew you needed in 30 Minutes of Sox!

No matter what you thought of Yoan Moncada, the way his team quickly moved on from him the moment he could be bought out was very telling. The White Sox have started to clear the decks. Comments from GM Chris Getz about new manager Will Venable seem to indicate more players will be heading for the door soon. Our only hope is that Getz and Company are watching the Dodgers more than the Yankees as they shape a new franchise direction.
