The Chicago White Sox have made their first marquee prospect promotion of the 2022 season, calling up Lenyn Sosa to the major leagues following his blistering start to the season in Double-A Birmingham.
In 62 games with the Barons, Sosa was hitting a whopping .331 with a .933 OPS, hitting 14 home runs and 48 RBIs. Sosa will bring an above-average glove to Chicago with his red-hot bat, although whether he sees any playing time before Yoán Moncada’s injury heals remains to be seen.
In the past year or so, the biggest thing in the way of the White Sox building a true championship roster was their lack of a sufficient farm system to satisfy trade costs.
