The stove heated up quite a bit on Saturday, when the White Sox made a pair of trades.
Reliever Gregory Santos, one of the South Siders’ few positive stories of 2023, will be a Mariner in 2024. In 66 1⁄3 innings, Santos posted a 3.39 ERA, a 2.65 FIP, and a 3.31 xFIP, resulting in 1.6 fWAR last season. Santos gave the White Sox many excellent innings, and Seattle’s bullpen will be stronger as a result of this trade.
While the White Sox gave up a valuable reliever, in return, they acquired right-handed pitcher Prelander Berroa and outfielder Zach DeLoach.
