The White Sox biggest addition to their bullpen became official Tuesday, the team announcing a one-year deal for Steve Cishek.
The former Cubs hurler adds some heft to the back end of the South Side relief corps, the owner of a 2.55 ERA in his two seasons on the other side of town. Cishek has proven to be dependable above all else, trotted out 150 times by Joe Maddon during the 2018 and 2019 campaigns.
“We believe Steve is a solid addition to our bullpen,” general manager Rick Hahn said in the announcement. “He complements our other relievers well, provides a different look to opposing hitters later in games and has consistently proven to be both durable and successful throughout his career.
