Yeah they are not good. But this is what happens with MLB bullpens, they are highly volatile year to year. The one I’m most surprised about is Bummer, a lot of people predicted that paying a closer 55 million was a poor decision. Doesn’t help that ‘Ol Tales of the Crypt handles then poorly. 

White Sox rank near the bottom of the league in close games late. 1.6 WHIP and an ERA at 4.73
