Zack Wheeler could be phenomenal signing for White Sox
Jon Paul Morosi of MLB.com reports that the Chicago White Sox have expressed interest in free agent starter, Zack Wheeler.
The team should definitely continue pursuing the right-hander as he could be exactly what they need to help anchor the rotation behind Lucas Giolito.
Wheeler, 29, is coming off a season in which he had an 11-8 record, 3.96 ERA, and 1.259 WHIP. His FIP over the last two seasons has been lower than his ERA, with a 3.25 FIP in 2018 3.48 FIP in 2019.
Furthermore, his walk rate in that span has also decreased, going from 4.2 BB/9 in 2017 to 2.7 BB/9 in 2018 to 2.3 BB/9 in this past season.
