GLENDALE, Ariz. — Chris Getz is done talking about triple-digit-loss seasons.

At least, he’d really like to be.

The White Sox have crossed the dreaded century mark three times under his watch, though most of the ugliness of 2023 landed on Rick Hahn’s line after Getz was named general manager late in the season.

They lost 101 games that year, took 20 steps backward into 2024’s historically bad 121-loss season and then weathered a relatively cheery 102 defeats last year.

The ‘25 vibes were as good as can be expected for a team that barely won two games per week on average. That’s thanks to the legitimate young talent that Getz & Co. are starting to stack across the infield, including a possible superstar in second-year shortstop Colson Montgomery and perhaps the best young catching tandem in baseball with Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero.

Now the Sox have even shelled out some free-agent cash for slugging Japanese wunderkind Munetaka Murakami — but they’ve also shed the tantalizing “boom” potential of Luis Robert Jr. after too many frustrating seasons watching him go bust. And question marks stretch from the outfield into a young starting rotation.

So while it might be getting better on paper, Getz isn’t ready to guarantee crossing that magic number of at least 63 wins to stave off one of the worst four-season stretches in MLB history.

“We know we are going to make meaningful strides in the right direction,” Getz said Monday as players, coaches and staffers trickled into Camelback Ranch the day before pitchers and catchers officially report.

“That shows up in a lot of different ways. Obviously, winning baseball games at the Major League level is why we come here, why we show up. We are building. We’ve accumulated a lot of talent. We have players pushing toward the Major Leagues,” Getz said. “We have players more experienced at the Major League level. We know that’s going to lead to more success. We are focused on what’s in front of us on that particular day. Regardless of what happens on that day, we will have that same mindset on the following day.”

Not exactly an oversell on the eve of spring training, where hope springs eternal. As for potentially surprising rivals in the American League Central, Getz would only say that “we feel like we can go out there and compete on a regular basis.”

“We showed that in the second half [last season], regardless of who we were playing against. We won some really good series against some good ballclubs. We hope to take that same mindset and approach into this year. There’s no reason why we can’t get off to a really good start and see where the year takes us,” he said.

Getz said he’s especially excited to watch the continued development of 23-year-old flamethrower Grant Taylor and 25-year-old Swiss-Army man Mike Vasil, who both showed strong flashes last year in relief but are pushing for shots as starters.

The GM also points to Shane Smith building on his All-Star rookie campaign, plus power arms Hagen Smith and Noah Schultz likely making their big-league jumps.

But it’s also about building on “a fair amount of momentum” that was nonexistent when Getz took the reins, with players who have grown up together through the Sox’ system.

“They love being around each other. They love playing together. They’re learning how to win,” he said.

It might sound familiar for Sox fans still reeling from another rebuild that never built to much of anything with the likes of Robert, Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada.

Second-year manager Will Venable has this younger crew “focused to start at ground zero” for a stronger foundation, according to the man who hired him.

“We feel really good about where we’re at, the room is excited, they’re hungry,” Getz said. “But we’ve got to go out and play good baseball and that’s why we’re out here at spring training, to really set the stage for that.”
