Chicago White Sox have drastically cut their payroll

The Chicago White Sox come into this season with a significant payroll decrease.

The Chicago White Sox have made it a point for this offseason to significantly slash their payroll and not spend and they’ve done just that. With some notable subtractions and little in the way of additions the Chicago White Sox will be one of the few teams with budgets less than $100 million for this season.

Some notable subtractions

Chicago White Sox
Third baseman Yoan Moncada

The biggest subtraction to the White Sox payroll was cutting Yoan Moncada and his $25 million salary he was set to make this season. Moncada was who the White Sox received as on of the pieces back from the Chris Sale trade. Moncada never proved to be the player the White Sox hoped he’d be, and with him never able to stay healthy, Moncada ultimately wore out his time in Chicago.

Other notable subtraction the White Sox made were moving on from infielder Nicky Lopez, and relievers Michael Soroka, and Chris Flexen who combined all roughly made $9.05 million. These subtractions listed sprinkled in with a few others have the Chicago White Sox payroll down $67,672,944 million per Brooks Gate and Jon Heyman. 

Some notable additions

The biggest addition the Chicago White Sox made so far this offseason was signing versatile utility-man Josh Rojas to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. Another significant addition that added some money back was signing left-handed pitcher Martin Perez to the same deal as Josh Rojas. The White Sox also gave veteran pitcher Bryse Wilson a one-year $1.05 million deal for this season.

The White Sox also added veteran outfielders Austin Slater and Mike Tauchman at $1.75 and $1.95 million respectively for each. As well as giving pay raises in arbitration to first baseman Andrew Vaughn, relievers Justin Anderson, Penn Murfee, and Steven Wilson, the Chicago White Sox added back roughly $19.15 million from that $60+ million subtraction.

With no more plans to spend anymore more significant dollars to bring more players in, we can assume that this is all the “big money” moves the White Sox will make. Spotrac has the Chicago White Sox payroll to be at around $72.97 million come the start of the season.
