The White Sox front office DFA’d Chris Volstad and moved up two minor league players. Otherwise, the front office has been rather quiet as the Trade Deadline approaches.
Despite the DFA, there is a good chance that Volstad will remain in the White Sox organization. If the team did not want him, Rick Hahn could have attempted to trade him.
Volstad’s DFA shows that the White Sox are ready to make changes to the bullpen. Joakim Soria wasn’t the only late-inning pitcher to be moved from the organization. (Although, he was the only one that came with a quality trade).
