The Chicago White Sox are refraining from significant free-agent spending this offseason, particularly after a disappointing 121-loss season in 2024. Despite the need to improve a struggling bullpen that blew numerous saves and leads, GM Chris Getz is choosing a cautious approach, aware that bullpen performances can vary greatly year over year. A case in point is Steven Wilson, whose performance plummeted after a trade. Instead, the Sox are looking to minor trades and waiver claims, acquiring Brandon Eisert, a left-handed pitcher with potential but limited major league experience.
The Sox picked up left-handed pitcher Brandon Eisert off of waivers to take Wilson's place on the 40-man roster. Maybe the hope Eisert's career is on the upswing.
Despite its struggles, GM Chris Getz is wise to not invest significantly in the bullpen, as bullpen arms often have unpredictable career swings.
