Not sure it offsets the loss of Carlos Rodón on Friday, but the White Sox made two moves that broke late Saturday, signing Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly to a two-year contract and Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison for one year.
Kelly will be 34 in June, and while Steve Cishek and Craig Kimbrel might point out that inking relievers with 10 seasons of wear on them is an extremely dicey proposition, hey, at least Kelly isn’t coming from the Cubs.
The righthander is a Hawk Harrelson redass special, made even more dangerous by an ability to touch triple-digits with his fastball.
