White Sox right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of The Athletic tweets. The club designated Despaigne on June 24.
Despaigne could have rejected an outright in favor of a return to free agency, but he’ll stick with Chicago, which signed him to a minor league deal May 19 after he opted out of a minors contract with the Reds. The 32-year-old Cuba native then recorded a 2.00 ERA/4.27 FIP with 8.0 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 over 18 innings in Charlotte.
Despaigne’s output with the White Sox’s top affiliate earned him a promotion to the majors, though he wasn’t able to carry his success to the game’s highest level. Despaigne made three starts with the ChiSox and managed a 9.45 ERA/6.86 FIP with a matching 4.73 K/9 and BB/9 across 13 1/3 frames before they designated him.
Why?
Someone needs to soak up innings in Charlotte.
I’m guessing the 9.45 ERA had something to do with it.
Mets will pick him up and transform him.
This screams loudly as to the lack of any quality depth throughout this overhyped organization. I believe their management timetable is now 2024 – maybe.

One mediocre pitcher who signed a tiny minor league deal defines the future success of the major league team? Hopefully you’re not a fan, because if you are, consider moving your family to New York so you can always watch a contending team. Your negativity isn’t needed.
It’s about cheap and incompetent ownership. A bad combo.
Dogbone, I’m genuinely curious as to why you seem to feel an overwhelming need to comment on every story involving the white sox with your ill feelings towards the franchise. It seems like wasted energy to me. Do you have a team that you like, or do you just love to hate the white sox?
I think it’s a safe bet that he’s another Cubs fan that “doesn’t care about the White Sox.”
