The Chicago White Sox have emphasized defense with some of their moves this offseason.

They’ll look to Martín Maldonado and Max Stassi to aid in that department behind the plate.

“(Improving defensively) starts with run prevention, and certainly the pitcher has the most control over it,” general manager Chris Getz said during a video conference this week. “I would say that the player on the field with the second-most control is the catcher.”

The Sox announced a one-year, $4.25 million deal with Maldonado on Jan. 5. They acquired Stassi in a trade from the Atlanta Braves in early December.
