The Chicago White Sox named Chris Getz the ballclub's new senior vice president and general manager on Thursday.
Getz, who has spent the last three seasons as assistant general manager, replaces"Chris brings a wealth of knowledge and experience within our organization to this role," White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. "Most importantly, he knows our players, both at the major league level and in our system, knows our staff and is familiar with all aspects of our basedall operations department.
But Getz's ties to the organization go back to his playing days. He was drafted by the team twice and spent the first two of his seven big league seasons with the White Sox."I am honored and humbled to be given this leadership responsibility," Getz said in a statement. "I understand what this team means to White Sox fans, and I am excited to begin the work today and during the remainder of this season.
The White Sox are in the middle of a dreadful 2023 campaign, posting an underwhelming 53-81 record and trading off a handful of mainstays in exchange for young prospects.
