Rule 5 deadline day was a busy day across Major League Baseball, and the Chicago White Sox were no exception. The team made a controversial decision to leave some young pitchers vulnerable for the Rule 5 draft, and also completed a pair of trades. LHP Chris Murphy, headed to the White Sox from Boston, will provide the team with an extra left-handed relief option as they look to reshape their bullpen. In addition to the deal with Boston, the White Sox dealt right-handers Steven Wilson and Yoendrys Gomez to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfielder Everson Pereira and infielder Tanner Murray.
