Tilson, Covey, Vieira among first Sox cuts
Friend of SSS Scot Gregor tweeted out some first cuts from Chicago White Sox camp:
White Sox roster moves:
Optioned OF Charlie Tilson and RHP Thyago Vieira to Class AAA Charlotte and RHP José Ruiz to Class A Winston-Salem.
Reassigned INF Jake Burger, RHP Dylan Covey, C Alfredo González, LHP Jordan Guerrero and RHP Michael Ynoa to minor-league camp.
— Scot Gregor (@scotgregor) March 6, 2018 Charlie Tilson hasn’t struggled, per se, but strong play from Adam Engel and Ryan Cordell in center renders Tilson a bit superfluous in the big camp right now. Factor in wanting to get extended looks at Luis Robert and Luis Basabe, and this makes sense.
