Yeah, it will be down from the $130 to $140 or whatever it was at this season. But the Sox had so many players leaving that it was already go to start out well below $100 million.
WhiteSoxDave of Barstoolsports wrote an article including a tidbit of news that Jerry is having Getz cut the payroll once again this upcoming offseason to around $100 million.

What an epically horrible trade deadline for a team that supposedly had numerous assets to deal. Getz packaged Fedde, Kopech, and Pham for a lesser return and prioritized saving money for Jerry.
Losers, all of them…
Can’t manage to trade your two best assets for anything and get back an underwhelming return for Fedde, but Getz and the Sox damn sure know how to shed some money.
Getz gets a D for his offseason, only because of Fedde but he gets an F for the trade deadline for not maximizing the value of Fedde or any of the other flop candidates he acquired.
Build back some value? Huh? Crochet may never be more valuable than he is today. He could fall apart the rest of the season due to hitting the wall, or god forbid, get injured.
