Rays Acquire International Bonus Money From White Sox

By Mark Polishuk | July 31, 2018 at 1:54pm CDT

The Rays have acquired some international bonus funds from the White Sox in exchange for minor league southpaw Hunter Schryver, the Chicago Sun-Times’ Daryl Van Schouwen reports (Twitter link).  The exact dollar amount isn’t known, though the international signing slots can be traded in increments of $250K.  The White Sox made a similar trade just two days ago, dealing $1.5MM in international bonus money to the Yankees for minor league lefty Caleb Frare.

Chicago is in the proverbial “penalty box” for the 2018-19 international signing class, as since the White Sox and seven other teams exceeded their bonus pool limit (under the old international signing rules) in past years, they aren’t allowed to sign any players from this signing period for more than a $300K bonus.  It has thus become common to see such penalized teams trading some of their 2018-19 bonus pool money in deals for prospects like Schryver or Frare, or even for established Major Leaguers, i.e. the Braves’ acquisition of Brad Brach from the Orioles.

The Rays will add to their original $6,025,400 bonus pool at the cost of Schryver, a seventh-round pick out of Villanova in the 2017 draft.  The 23-year-old has started just one of his 51 appearances as a pro, and his early returns make him a promising future left-handed weapon out of the bullpen.  Schryver has a 2.70 ERA, 10.5 K/9, and 5.11 K/BB rate over 83 1/3 career innings, and he made his debut at the high-A level earlier this season.

    Mark it might be illuminating to mention a pitchers WHIP when noting a high walk rate.
    Some pitchers are “effectively wild” and trade walks for hits and strikeouts and do quite well. Or I guess I could get my lazy bun off the couch and look it up!

      That’s actually 5.11 strikeouts to every walk. In other words, good control. You may be thinking of BB/9 which is walks per nine innings…

    What the actual hell? The giants didn’t trade ANYBODY and now they will trade them in August for little to no return. Cutch, Will Smith, Tony Watson all gone for a RP in class A advanced and some cash.

      Could always be an Orioles fan. We traded all our good players for a bag of potato chips and a used door mat

      White Sox still hanging onto Shields…I think that was a massive mistake.

        Being a Sox fan, I dont think anybody wanted the salary or Sox didnt want to pay for him to go.

        I’m sure they were shopping him. He was actually solid for a while, but then it was back to the James Shields we’ve all come to know and loathe. It probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway; the damage has already been done in trading away Tatis, Jr. Unlikely that the lottery ticket they would have gotten back would turn into anything.

    Shoulda just traded peeps away to free up cash, gotten prospects, and signed some young international talent/minor free agents to prepare for 2020 in which they may have a chance at being a .500 team again.

    Slick Rick getting creative again. The August waiver wire should be interesting.
