CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox general manager Chris Getz mentioned the talent in the pipeline and insisted better days are coming. He just has one message for Chicago's frustrated fans: Be patient. Considering the White Sox set a modern major league record ...

It's now being called "SoxFest Live" due to its new live format, which is meant to reimagine the traditional fan convention as an immersive fan experience.

Venable and White Sox General Manager Chris Getz held a pre-Sox Fest pow-wow Thursday afternoon, before the festivities officially kick off on Friday.

The White Sox have a goal to win games, just like Major League Baseball’s other 29 teams. Coming off a 121-loss season, though, their success in 2025 ultimately might not be measured in finishing .500 or even winning 70-to-75 times.

Chicago White Sox following SoxFest Live, including shortstop Colson Montgomery’s mindset as he prepares to compete for a roster spot this spring.

The Chicago White Sox invited 24 nonroster players to major-league camp, including top pitching prospects Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith.

As it stands, Brooks Baldwin is projected to serve as Chicago's Opening Day shortstop. The 24-year-old made his big league debut in 2024 – just two years after he went in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft – and he wound up batting .211 with a .566 OPS and 0.0 WAR in 33 games.

The Chicago White Sox opened SoxFest with a press conference with general manager Chris Getz and first-year manager Will Venable. The two answered questions on Thursday afternoon.

The White Sox rebuild last time did not go according to plan. Chris Getz' however, is taking a different approach. Will it make a difference?

CHICAGO — White Sox general manager Chris Getz mentioned the talent in the pipeline and insisted better days are coming. He just has one message for Chicago’s frustrated fans: Be patient.

Picking up the pieces after a 41-121 season — the worst record in modern major league history — the White Sox have an opening at shortstop, and putting the homegrown Montgomery in the lineup on opening day would be a nice moment for a rebuilding franchise counting on its player development staff to make the most of its suddenly rich farm system.
