The Chicago White Sox are a very interesting organization. They have a lot of very talented players that need to find a way to put all of those skills to work. Most of them have underperformed based on the clear tools that they have.
It is a team that spends a lot of money on the roster as a whole but it isn't spent in the right areas. There are a few position players that make some good money but few of them actually deserve it right now.
Over time, the White Sox are one of a handful of teams to never hand out a 100 million dollar contract which is also something that should probably change soon. Andrew Benintendi has the most lucrative contract ever given to a White Sox player at 75 million.
Maybe a player on the Chicago White Sox will earn that type of contract as the years go on. They certainly don't seem like a team that will bring in someone worth that money from the outside but eventually, a few of their own players will want that kind of money.
The White Sox need to be really smart with their decision making.
