Chicago White Sox set their 2021 player development staff, including a promotion for Chris Getz

The Chicago White Sox announced their 2021 player development staff and assignments for 2021, which includes a promotion to for Chris Getz to assistant general manager/player development.

Getz was the director of player development from 2017-20.

Wes Helms (Triple-A Charlotte), Justin Jirschele (Double-A Birmingham), Ryan Newman (Class-A Winston-Salem), Guillermo Quiroz (Class-A Kannapolis) and Ever Magallanes (Arizona Rookie League White Sox) will serve as managers. All five were set to manager their respective teams in 2020 before the cancellation of the minor-league season because of COVID-19.

“After a challenging 2020, we are looking forward to and anticipating a season of development across the entire organization,” Getz said in a statement. “The White Sox are very fortunate to have terrific existing relationships in place with all four of our potential affiliates, and we are excited for the eventual return to some type of normalcy in the player development and affiliate world. I am very pleased with the staff we have in place, as we look forward to getting up and running to full speed as soon as conditions allow.”

Player Development License invitations have been sent to Charlotte, Birmingham, Winston-Salem and Kannapolis, pending completion of the new player development system approval process.

Everett Teaford is the pitching coordinator. J.R. Perdew will be the assistant pitching coordinator, while former Sox pitcher Donnie Veal will work as the rehab pitching coach based in Arizona.
