White Sox add Alex Speas to bullpen depth
Making his MLB debut on July 19 for the Rangers, Alex Speas had three Ks in 1 2⁄3 innings, earning both a hold and an ice bath after the 5-1 win.Earlier this week, the White Sox shuffled their 40-man and minor-league rosters, with a couple of moves.
The one with MLB (or AAAA) impact came when the White Sox claimed righthander Alex Speas after he was waived by Texas. To make room for the claim, the White Sox released outfielder Tyler Naquin.
The 25-year-old Speas saw action at three levels in 2023:
Frisco RoughRiders (Double-A): 23 games, 3-0, 0.64 ERA, 0.918 WHIP, 28 1⁄3 IP, 4 GF, 2 SV
Round Rock Express (Triple-A): 26 games, 2-2, 5.08 ERA, 1.624 WHIP, 28 1⁄3 IP, 9 GF, 2 SV
