The Chicago White Sox continued their midseason re-tool on Friday afternoon by trading right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman to the Astros for former First Round pick, catcher Korey Lee.
Lee trudged through his first two years of college ball posting middling offensive statistics, unable to get regular reps on a talented California Golden Bears ball club. In 2019, he began to see regular playing time at catcher and rewarded Cal by making the most of his increased opportunities. In 51 games, Lee slashed .337/.416/.619 for an OPS north of 1.000 in his first season as an everyday Golden Bears player.
