Though the Chicago White Sox<\/span><\/a> have done well to revamp their roster this offseason, they may have made a blunder with general manager Chris Getz\u2019s comments regarding newly acquired infielder Luisangel Acuna. Acuna was one of the players acquired in the trade that sent Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets. <\/span><\/p>\n

More News:<\/strong> Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz feels good about his roster<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

According to Sam Phalen on X\/Twitter, Getz has mislabeled Acuna as a switch-hitter in multiple interviews, when the 23-year-old infielder strictly bats right-handed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great job by many of you flagging this.<\/p>\n

Here are FOUR different times this offseason where #WhiteSox<\/a> GM Chris Getz has referred to Luisangel Acu\u00f1a as a switch hitter.<\/p>\n

Acu\u00f1a is, in fact, NOT a switch hitter.<\/p>\n

Not great. Four times isn\u2019t a misspeak. pic.twitter.com\/yYYsHBH49w<\/a><\/p>\n
