Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz has been reluctant to label his plan as a rebuild, but by dealing his ace 2 weeks before the season, there’s really no other way to look at it.

White Sox general manager Chris Getz, right, watches a workout on Feb. 21, 2024, at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz. It was only three years ago the Chicago White Sox looked as if they could have a solid rotation for years, headed by Carlos Rodón, Lucas Giolito, Dylan Cease and Michael Kopech.But the best-laid plans of former general manager Rick Hahn didn’t pan out.

The four-player haul the Sox received includes 23-year-old starter Drew Thorpe, the No. 5-ranked prospect in the Padres organization, according to MLB Pipeline; and Jairo Iriate, a 22-year-old right-hander with a 98 mph fastball who ranked No. 8 in the organization. They also got 19-year-old Venezuelan outfielder Samuel Zavala, ranked No. 7, and reliever Steven Wilson.

Cease won’t be soon forgotten. He arrived in the Sox organization in 2017 as part of one of the more one-sided crosstown deals in memory, when Hahn sent starter Jose Quintana to the Cubs for Cease and outfielder Eloy Jiménez. It was a move that juiced up a rebuild that began the previous winter when Hahn dealt Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox in a deal that brought back Kopech and Yoán Moncada.who also can increase his trade value this season with a hot start.

Renteria managed to get the Sox to the postseason by 2020 but was fired after a wild-card-round loss to the Oakland A’s and replaced by Tony La Russa, a personal friend of Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. La Russa won in 2021 but left due to health reasons after the 2022 season. He has been in Sox camp this spring as an adviser to Grifol.
