White Sox Sign Randall Delgado, Jacob Lindgren, D.J. Peterson

By Connor Byrne | January 12, 2019 at 8:33pm CDT

The White Sox have signed a pair of pitchers – right-hander Randall Delgado and lefty Jacob Lindgren – as well as first baseman D.J. Peterson to minor league contracts, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

Among the trio, the most major league experience belongs to Delgado, who accumulated 542 2/3 innings and 271 appearances (53 starts) with the Braves and Diamondbacks from 2011-18. He pitched to a 4.10 ERA/4.19 FIP with 7.71 K/9 and 3.37 BB/9 along the way, and was particularly successful in Arizona during the 2015 and ’17 campaigns. However, the 28-year-old Delgado endured a rough 2018, during which he totaled just 11 1/3 innings and saw his velocity decline. An oblique injury helped slow Delgado, who lost his spot with the Diamondbacks when they released him in late July, only to re-sign him in mid-August.

Lindgren, 25, had been on the market since the Braves outrighted him in October, ending a two-year run with the franchise. Formerly a promising prospect with the Yankees, who chose him in Round 2 of the 2014 draft, Lindgren never threw a professional pitch with the Braves on account of significant arm problems. Lindgren underwent Tommy John surgery during the 2016 season, but the Braves nonetheless signed him to a major league deal entering 2017. But Lindgren underwent yet another TJ procedure prior to last season, which at least temporarily derailed his comeback efforts. When healthy, Lindgren has recorded a sterling 1.83 ERA with sky-high strikeout and walk rates (14.2 K/9, 5.3 BB/9) across 54 frames in the minors. He also reached the bigs in the Yankees in 2015, when he yielded four earned runs with eight strikeouts and four walks over seven innings.

Like Lindgren, Peterson was a well-regarded prospect somewhat recently. After going 12th overall to the Mariners in the 2012 draft, Peterson cracked BA’s top-100 prospects list over the next couple years. While Peterson had his moments in the Mariners’ system, they designated him in July 2017, leading his current club – the White Sox – to claim him off waivers. Peterson didn’t last long during his first stint with the Pale Hose, though, as the Reds grabbed him off waivers in September 2017. His time with the Reds concluded when they released him last month, even though he batted a decent .277/.322/.462 with 16 home runs in 453 plate appearances as a member of their Triple-A affiliate in 2018. Thus far, the 27-year-old Peterson is a .262/.315/.431 hitter in 1,177 PAs at the minors’ highest level.

      Lindgren grew up 5 towns from Machado. Delgado liked his last instagram post. Peterson pinch ran for a guy and had a light conversation at second when their high school teams met.

    Randall Delgado is best friends with Machados neighbor. Jacob Lindgrens dad is his pool guy and Dj Peterson once helped his mom carry her groceries out to her car.

    The strikeout factory is still out there doing it. He was really promising as a yankees, the injuries completely killed his career. Hope he can stay healthy and see what he’s got for a full season

    Yankees prospects are garbage. Teams need to get wise and stop getting fleeced.

        Yankees did, when they drafted him #55 overall and gave him a $1.1 million signing bonus

      Pretty dumb comment. Especially considering Lindgren has never been traded. Non-tendered by NY, signed by Atlanta as a FA, then signed as a FA by Chicago. So how did anyone get fleeced?

    Once Machado signs elsewhere Hahn can call Seattle and offer Alonso plus for E.E. that trade is possibly Rick Hahn’s worst yet. Why wasnt he talking to Cleveland about one of their good players

      If his worst trade was sending out a potential 5th outfielder for someone that had an .866 OPS 2 years ago, I think he’s doing pretty damn well.
