The White Sox traded center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets last month, and Getz said they would reinvest the $20 million in savings in the team. He then signed right-hander Seranthony Domínguez to a two-year, $20 million deal and added Hicks.

The Boston Red Sox missed out on another productive infielder when Eugenio Suárez reportedly agreed to sign with the Cincinnati Reds. The Red Sox lost a key offensive piece when Alex Bregman signed with the Chicago Cubs.
