Spring training workouts start Sunday with the Los Angeles Dodgers trying to become the first repeat champion since the New York Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000.

With his team slogging through the worst season in franchise history, Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf says this has been a “very painful” year but he’s been “impressed” by the professional attitude from players and staff.

The Chicago White Sox promoted Chris Getz to general manager, staying inside the organization for the position almost two decades after the franchise last won a playoff series.
