With eye on long term, White Sox build for 2017
- Updated: December 30, 2016
CHICAGO — The White Sox have a long-term goal of contending for, and hopefully winning, numerous World Series championships.
In order to reach that goal, they will be taking a new approach during the 2017 season. The South Siders started what many believed to be a long overdue rebuild by trading Chris Sale, one of the game’s top starting pitchers, to Boston, and by trading multi-threat outfielder Adam Eaton to Washington during the Winter Meetings.
Their return of seven solid prospects, including MLBPipeline.com’s No. 1 player in Yoan Moncada and No. 1 pitcher in Lucas Giolito, instantly jumped Chicago’s Minor League system from outside the Top 20 to inside the Top 10. The White Sox also started building up much-needed depth in the farm system.
