The White Sox trend of bringing in loads of minor league high ceiling relievers is a super interesting trend for me. Historically relieving in the minors has been near zero value. But with the trend of less and less IP out of your SP are the Sox actually playing Moneyball thing and picking up value by bringing in these players?
There is no question that relievers on the trade market at the major league level have more value than ever. The other thing is that the White Sox are always willing to deal relievers for position player prospects.
If the Sox are either able to build a pen of these kinds of pieces and/or able to turn these guys into position player prospects in the future, they build an extra source of prospect depth it is a huge lift to the sustainability of this build in the future.
