January 10, 20242 yr Author A little more information in this piece. https://www.soxon35th.com/report-white-sox-sign-pitcher-jake-woodford-to-milb-deal/ Quote A groundball-first pitcher, Woodford posted a 51.2 GB% last season, placing him in the 85th percentile in that regard. This goes along with some of the White Sox’ other acquisitions this offseason as pitch-to-contact, high-ground-ball rate pitchers. This move is a clear-depth piece and is likely one of many Non-Roster Invites that will be signed in the coming weeks before Spring Training.
January 10, 20242 yr 2.21 ERA and 1.117 WHIP in a little more than half a season out of the bullpen in ‘22, ERA of 6 as a starter last year. Guessing he was out of options.

January 10, 20242 yr Eh, Charlotte needs arms that can start games - something they haven't really had in years.

Having a bevy of guys we can throw out there for 2-3-4 innings of relief is likely a necessity if we have guys like Kopech getting pulled after giving up 4-5 (or more) runs in 4-5 (or fewer) innings. Maybe out of all these guys were signing, someone turns it around. By DFA, trade, release or whatever means, I think we all know most of these guys aren’t around next year.
