The Chicago White Sox are coming off one of the worst seasons in Major League Baseball history.
After finishing with a record of 41-121, the White Sox went into the offseason with plenty of problems to fix.
The two best players for the White Sox in 2024 arguably were starting pitcher Garrett Crochet and outfielder Luis Robert Jr.
The White Sox already traded away Crochet in a deal with the Boston Red Sox, and one MLB analyst recently revealed what they are asking for in a possible trade for Robert.
Bowden revealed that the White Sox want the same return for Robert that they got for Crochet.
Although this is reportedly the asking price, Bowden also mentions that the only offers Chicago has gotten include only one top prospect.
Robert has played all five seasons of his MLB career with the White Sox.
In 2024, Robert played in 100 games and batted .224 with 14 home runs, 35 RBIs and a .657 OPS.
Although Robert’s numbers weren’t great, that could partially be attributed to the overall team performance, along with injuries.
Robert will be a name to keep an eye on to see if a move is made before the start of the 2025 season.

The Chicago White Sox had the worst season in modern baseball history after finishing with a record of 41-121 and finishing in last place in the American League Central.
After winning the division only four years ago in 2021, things have taken a turn for the worse for the White Sox who appear to be at rock bottom.
The offseason has seen the White Sox part ways with their best-starting pitcher as Garrett Crochet was traded to the Boston Red Sox.
Although they lost Crochet, the White Sox have made a couple of acquisitions including right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson from the Milwaukee Brewers.
Wilson revealed his thoughts on joining the White Sox for the 2025 season.
"Any given day, any team can beat another team."

Wilson notes that even though the White Sox are in a current rebuild, they still come to work every day and do the best they can with what they have.
Any MLB team can beat another on any given day due to the top-tier talent that these players possess.
Wilson is a seven-year veteran pitcher who came into the league in 2018 with the Atlanta Braves where he played until going to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2021 and the Brewers in 2023.
In 2024 with the Brewers, Wilson appeared in 34 games and held a record of 5-4 with a 4.04 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 104.2 innings pitched.
The White Sox appear like they are heading for another rough season in 2025, but the MLB is unpredictable, and they could surprise some people next year.

The Chicago White Sox are coming off a season to forget.
They finished with a record of 41-121, the record for most losses by an MLB team in the modern era.
After winning the American League Central division only four years ago, in 2021, the White Sox progressively worsened every season.
With plenty of work to do this offseason to get the team back to a competitive level, the White Sox have traded away their best starting pitcher, Garrett Crochet.
After the trade of Crochet, the White Sox now have some talent in their farm system.
According to MLB Network on ‘X,’ the White Sox have six prospects ranked in the MLB Pipeline’s top 60 prospects.
Following the Garrett Crochet trade, the @whitesox have six prospects ranked in @MLBPipeline's top 60 prospects
– LHP Noah Schultz (#16)
– C Kyle Teel (#25)
– LHP Hagen Smith (#30)
– SS Colson Montgomery (#37)
– OF Braden Montgomery (#54)
– C Edgar Quero (#59) pic.twitter.com/ut7mqCEofc
— MLB Network (@MLBNetwork) December 15, 2024
The six prospects in the White Sox system include left-handed pitcher Noah Schultz at number 16, catcher Kyle Teel at number 25, left-handed pitcher Hagen Smith at number 30, shortstop Colson Montgomery at number 37, outfielder Braden Montgomery at number 54, and catcher Edgar Quero at number 59.
While most of these names don’t stand out yet, the White Sox now have the potential to develop these players into regular MLB players in the coming seasons.
The White Sox hit rock bottom in 2024 and have nowhere else to go but up in 2025.
With the AL Central responsible for three playoff teams in 2024, the White Sox will likely have a hard time being competitive in the division next season.
There have been reports of the White Sox potentially being interested in trading their other star player, outfielder Luis Robert Jr., as well this offseason.

White Sox GM Says Team Is Garnering A Lot Of Interest In Veteran Outfielder

The Chicago White Sox are coming off one of the worst seasons in Major League Baseball history after finishing with a record of 41-121.
Though some people would think such a bad season would make a team want to add talent in the offseason, the White Sox are doing the opposite thus far.
After dealing starting pitcher Garrett Crochet to the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox could potentially be willing to trade another All-Star player.
After trading one All Star, Garrett Crochet, #WhiteSox GM Chris Getz may now do it again, this time with Luis Robert Jr.

Getz revealed that there is a lot of interest in the 27-year-old outfielder.
Robert debuted in 2020 with the White Sox and has played all five seasons of his MLB career with them.
After battling injuries early in the 2024 season, Robert was one of the lone bright spots for the White Sox.
He played 100 games and batted .224 with 14 home runs, 35 RBIs, 23 stolen bases and a .657 OPS.
Getz said he believes that the 2024 results from Robert are his floor and as bad a season you’ll see out of him.
He was coming off of his best season when he played 145 games and batted .264 with 38 home runs, 80 RBIs and an .857 OPS.
Getz mentions the need to be careful trading Robert as he is a five-tool player who is just as valuable in the field as he is at the plate.
It will be interesting to see if the White Sox part ways with another one of their best players and opt for a complete rebuild in 2025.

The Chicago White Sox finished last in the AL Central last season.
With 121 losses, the White Sox broke the record for most in a season in the modern era of Major League Baseball.
The White Sox fired manager Pedro Grifol in August, and Grady Sizemore took over as interim manager for the remainder of the season.
Sizemore recently gave his honest admission about his time as interim manager.
"It still doesn't feel real."
Grady Sizemore reflects on his time as the interim manager for the #WhiteSox:

Though it wasn’t an ideal situation for Sizemore, who was a player for 10 seasons, the last in 2015, he appeared to make the most of his time as manager of the White Sox.
Sizemore noted that it was a difficult season for the team, but he believes they ended it on a better trajectory.
Sizemore will not manage the White Sox in 2025 after they hired Will Venable in late October.
The White Sox have missed the postseason for three straight seasons after making the playoffs in 2020 and 2021.
Chicago will have some work to do if it wants to contend in the AL Central as the division produced three playoff teams in 2024.
The White Sox had a rock-bottom season in 2024, so it will be hard to get much worse in 2025.

White Sox Would Reportedly ‘Love To’ Trade 1 Player

Most baseball fans are aware of how bad the Chicago White Sox were in 2024 as they broke the record for most losses in a season in the modern baseball era with 121.
While the White Sox were by far the worst team in baseball, it was only four seasons ago that they won the AL Central with a 93-69 record.
The White Sox need to make some major changes if they want to get back to that competitive level.
To do so, they reportedly are willing to part with arguably their most popular and skillful player.
Robert has been a standout player for the White Sox since coming into the league in 2020.
The 2023 All-Star and Silver Slugger winner struggled, like the rest of the team, in 2024.
In 100 games, Robert batted .224 with 14 home runs, 35 RBIs and a .657 OPS.
The drop-off is significant as in 2023 he played in 145 games and batted .264 with 38 home runs, 80 RBIs and a .857 OPS.
Nightengale reports that the White Sox may look to trade Robert this offseason for a package of players.
The White Sox have lost 20 more games each season since 2022 when they had an 81-81 record, and this is likely rock bottom for the team.
It would be hard to get much worse than the 2024 White Sox, and now they will try to rebuild and get back to a competitive level as soon as possible.
