The Chicago White Sox<\/a><\/span> had a great offseason, in which general manager Chris Getz added pieces to pair with the young core that is forming. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recently signing right-hander Erick Fedde to fill out the rotation, the White Sox still have some room to spend and add at least one more piece. However, Getz seems content with the roster he\u2019s constructed, saying, \u201cWe do feel good about the group we have in here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got flexibility, we do. But we do feel good about the group we have in here,\u201d Getz said to MLB.com\u2019s Scott Merkin<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSo much of this year will be the continual development of the young players we have on this roster.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Getz could increase payroll in the form of an extension or by acquiring a bigger contract at the trade deadline<\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite Getz stating the White Sox are basically done adding on the free agent market, that doesn\u2019t mean the White Sox won\u2019t increase their payroll in other ways. Signing one of their young players to a contract extension, like the Athletics are doing with their core, signing four players in the last two years: <\/span><\/p>\n
