The 2015 Chicago White Sox season was the club's 116th season in Chicago and 115th in the American League.
The 2014 Chicago White Sox ended with a 73-89 record, a 10-game improvement over 2013.General Manager Rick Hahn gave the season a "fail" grade, citing the lack of a championship. The White Sox front office set up an "aggressive" offseason plan, focusing on improving a bullpen that blew 21 saves and had the 3rd-worst earned run average in baseball. Despite losing 188 games the previous two seasons, Robin Ventura is set to remain as manager for the 2015 season.
The White Sox offseason started at the end of October when Moises Sierra was claimed by the Kansas City Royals off waivers. Shortly following this, the Sox declined Felipe Paulino's option for 2015, after going 0-2 in just four starts. Reliever Matt Lindstrom also elected free agency at the end of the month after an ankle injury kept him off the mound for most of 2014.
On November 3, the White Sox claimed outfielder J. B. Shuck off waivers from the Cleveland Indians. Two weeks later, the team began its quest to improve the bullpen by signing free agent reliever Zach Duke to a three year/$15 million contract. The rest of November included mostly minor league moves, until the White Sox signed free agent first baseman Adam LaRoche to a two year/$25 million contract on November 25. The corresponding roster move was to designate pitcher Scott Carroll for assignment, who would later become a free agent.
