Over the past few days, we have been given another example of how cheaply the White Sox are run.
At first, this was just illustrated through a lack of free agency signings during this condensed signing period. Now, the team has decided to allow an arbitration hearing with Lucas Giolito, one of the few proven starting pitchers that the team has at the moment.
If you have been following this team for any length of time, this is not surprising. The biggest free agency contract that the White Sox have ever given out was Yasmani Grandal’s four-year, $73 million deal in November 2019.
