White Sox Select Bryan Shaw, Dominic Leone; Designate Sammy Peralta

By Darragh McDonald | March 28, 2024 at 11:25am CDT

The White Sox announced a series of Opening Day transactions, selecting the contracts of right-hander Jordan Leasure, Bryan Shaw and Dominic Leone. The news on Leasure was previously reported. In corresponding moves, they placed left-hander Shane Drohan and right-hander Jimmy Lambert on the 60-day injured list and also designated left-hander Sammy Peralta for assignment.

The White Sox have undergone a huge amount of roster churn since last year, as they kicked off a rebuild last summer and continued it this offseason. As pointed out by Jesse Rogers of ESPN, Michael Kopech is the only pitcher or catcher that remains from last year’s Opening Day roster. The additions of Shaw and Leone will give them some veteran arms to soak up some innings and serve as veteran mentors for some of the younger guys looking to get established.

Shaw, 36, has made 791 major league appearances with a 3.93 earned run average in a career that dates back to 2011. He was also with the Sox last year, tossing 45 2/3 innings with 4.14 ERA, 21.1% strikeout rate and 8.9% walk rate. He returned on a minor league deal and is now back on the roster.

Leone, 32, is barely halfway to Shaw in terms of major league appearances with 404, having posted an ERA of 3.82 in that time. He pitched for the Mets, Angels and Mariners last year with a 4.67 ERA, 23% strikeout rate and 11.9% walk rate. He had to settle for a minor league deal this offseason but is now back in the bigs.

Drohan underwent a nerve decompression procedure in his left shoulder about a month ago. It’s unclear when he’ll be able to return from a health perspective, but this transaction means he’s ineligible to be activated before late May. Lambert has been experiencing some shoulder soreness in recent weeks, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. His situation isn’t clear either but it seems the Sox expect him to miss at least a couple of months.

Peralta, 26 in May, made his major league debut last year and tossed 20 innings with a 4.05 ERA, 20% strikeout rate and 12.2% walk rate. He also tossed 69 innings at Triple-A with a 5.09 ERA, 23.1% strikeout rate and 6.4% walk rate. The Sox will have one week to trade him or pass him through waivers. He still has a couple of option years remaining.

    I have no comment for this waste of a professional baseball team. Nothing will ever change until Reinsdorf sells the team to someone who wants to bring a perrenial winner to Chicago.

      I wish Reinsdorf would get more involved with the personnel decisions.

      Nice to see MLBTR finally acknowledging that the Sox are rebuilding, not “retooling”.

      While one games does not make or break a season, the Sox are not exactly filled with top notch hitters, so this first game is not really showing a good sign. Im all for saving runs, but you need to score them too.
