The Chicago White Sox will not be breaking the bank during 2025 free agency.

During an appearance on the team's Friday night broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago, general manager Chris Getz revealed that the team does not have plans to address its issues with splashy free agent signings and instead will focus on the talent in the organization.

"We're not going to be working heavy in free agency," Getz said on the White Sox broadcast (h/t R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports). "We've got guys out on the field right now that need to improve their game. A lot of these guys are young players and need to make the adjustments to be more productive.

The White Sox are currently 35-115 and on pace for the worst record since MLB began playing 162 games in a season.

The White Sox are just four losses away from the Detroit Tigers' 43-119 record from 2003, which is the worst of the 21st century. The 1962 New York Mets have the modern MLB record with 120 losses. Chicago would need to go 7-5 for the rest of the season to avoid exceeding that number.

Whether or not the team hits that unfortunate milestone, it has been a disastrous year on the South Side and major changes would appear to be inevitable. However, the first-year general manager's approach appears to be aligned with making responsible decisions that don't derail the team further.

The White Sox farm system ranks 11th in MLB, per MLB.com, and possesses four prospects ranked in the top 100 in the league. This places the system in the top half of MLB and a top-five pick in the 2025 MLB Draft should improve this.

Additionally, the team could move players like Luis Robert Jr. in the offseason and recoup further assets to improve the future. While adding some free agents could improve the play on the field in 2025, it may not be enough to push the team toward the postseason.

Chicago currently has the 18th-highest payroll in MLB, per Spotrac, so spending toward the league average did not pay off in 2024. Instead, it looks like the White Sox will look to the future and may embrace a few more difficult seasons.
