The White Sox selected the contract of veteran reliever Bryan Shaw before this evening’s game against the Guardians, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He’s in the majors within a few days of being outrighted off the roster.
Shaw returns to backfill a bullpen that has had a few notable subtractions. Reynaldo López, Joe Kelly and Kendall Graveman were all dealt away within the past 48 hours. Keynan Middleton seems likely to follow them out the door, while Aaron Bummer has been the subject of trade attention himself. Chicago will need to cover that lost middle relief work.
The 35-year-old righty has pitched in six games for the ChiSox this year. He’s allowed eight runs in 7 2/3 frames. Shaw has spent the bulk of the season with Triple-A Charlotte, tallying 23 2/3 innings over 23 outings. He carries a 4.94 ERA there, striking out more than a quarter of opponents but issuing walks at a massive 16.5% clip.
Heeeeeee’ssssss back
Chicago White Sox: Now hiring baseball players, apply today!
I hope the White Sox hire Benny “the Jet” Rodriguez or Homerun Homer Simpson.
Isn’t there a 26 year old AAA player that you can make their dream come true the last third of the season verses this retread washed up hack?!
Agreed. Going with old known bad solutions makes no sense. Bring up some non-prospect arms that have some command (pitchers instead of max effort throwers) and see if you stumble backwards into overachievers.

Going For The Draft Pick

This Can’t Hurt Our Attendance
So Maybe Tony Wasn’t The Problem
Yeah, Tony was definitely the problem facilitated by Reinsdorf.
No, there isn’t some young, strapping young man they can bring up to make his dream come true. The only legit prospect they have is Montgomery, a SS. The rest of the farm system is stuffed with all of the dfa’s and has-beens Hahn collected during the off-season thanks to reinsdorf’s severe cutting of the budget.
Not really. The AAA pitching staff is pretty devoid of promotable guys. It was probably Shaw or Colome.
I’d rather watch a 19-20 year old from AA or A ball than the garbage Detroit and Chicago roll out there every day! Amazes me how some teams bring up 19 year olds and 5 years later they’re all-stars, but our Central Division teams never get them
Even AA and A are pretty empty. Honestly the guys they got that from LA are probably the closest promotable pitching prospects in the system right now.
Fire Hahn, Kenny and Pedro.. definitely don’t trust Hahn to make any trades.. it’s brutal
Jerry needs to sell the team and take Kenny with him to be his butler. Obviously Kenny has something on him. They did call up a guy that was drafted in the 36th round of the ‘19 draft so they did make someone’s day. Hope another team takes Grandal so they can bring up the catcher from Houston. Probably not going to be worth going to a game for the next few years. Very sad situation.
Why? I thought Jerry was going to have a lottery for every home game to see what fan gets to pitch. Yes you have to buy a ticket to win!
Tell you what..if I was going to sell this team I’d strip it down payroll wise as much as possible. Sorry I was dreaming for a second there…back to reality.
