There are plenty of future relievers in that list at AAA, and plenty that would have been just fine in MLBs pen instead of wasting low level guys. This also would have lightened this panic situation of too many pitchers in the minors. Instead of this, we artificially blocked the guys from moving up by bringing in more pitchers at the top. Realistically this is Chris Getz admitting that the guys at the top are guys he doesn't trust, and he'd rather block them with middle aged relievers than actually use them at the next level. Chris Getz and I would like to order room service in this head of yours. Can you think a menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a victory lap because the guy wasn't good enough to be claimed by another MLB team is quite the flex. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) We managed to retain a reliever that not one other team in baseball wished to claim, even though he will only earn $190,000 more than the veteran minimum for 2025. That’s a far cry away from the initial excitement about flipping Wilson for another prospect when he was first acquired in the Cease trade. 🤣 Edited February 11 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/white-sox-outright-steven-wilson.html "Despite the rough season, the White Sox tendered Wilson a contract for 2025 and avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $950K salary. They then bumped him off the roster when they claimed lefty Brandon Eisert last week. It seems none of the 29 other clubs were willing to grab Wilson at that price point, so he went unclaimed. Wilson has three years of service time, which gave him the right to elect free agency. However, since he has less than five years of service, heading to the open market would have meant forfeiting that $950K. He’ll stick with the Sox and try to earn his way back onto the roster."
