Did the White Sox trade for a piece of their future paddock?

Exchanging money against a minor league player against a minor league player might not seem like a big deal.

But the Whites' perspective was acquired Sunday in an exchange with the New York Yankees. in the minor leagues and through his performance can not help but start speculation about whether the team has just added a piece of his pen to the future.

Caleb Frare is a 25-year-old left-hander who was drafted on the 11th round In 2018, he was crazy posting an average of 0.62 in 31 appearances with Double-A Trenton before being promoted to Scranton / Wilkes-Barre Triple-A a few days ago. He abandoned a race – just the fourth deserved race that he has allowed all season – in his solitary appearance with Scranton / Wilkes-Barre.

And how about this resonant approval:

The Yankees should have added Frare to the list this fall or expose it to Rule 5. With its numbers and being an LHP, it would surely have been taken. Last month, a scout told people in Trenton that Frare was the best rescue arm he'd seen in the upper levels of the NYY system.

Frare is now part of a Charlotte AA triplet enclosure that has fascinating names when it comes to decorating. try to project the rescue corps of the White Sox of the future.

Ian Hamilton has a 1.77 ERA between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte season. He has saved 12 games with the Barons and already has four saves with the Knights since his promotion in mid-June. Since he's progressed to a level, Hamilton has a 1.76 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 15.1 innings.

Zack Burdi is still coming back from Tommy John's surgery and has not participated in a league game this season. But it's a guy, a former first-round pick, who has long been viewed as a potential closer to the future. He had a 4.05 MF in 29 appearances at Charlotte last season

Carson Fulmer, another first-round pick, was recently moved from Charlotte's rotation to the bullpen. He has a 4.00 ERA with 10 strikeouts and eight strikeouts in nine innings since the move.

Since the White Sox traded Joakim Soria against the Milwaukee Brewers earlier this week, young pitchers have the opportunity to impress the greats. league staff in highly leveraged situations during the last months of the season. A month or more of success in the bullpen one season do not always predict future success. Juan Minaya and Gregory Infante impressed in a similar situation last season after the team eliminated so many of its raisers, although they struggled to find success in 2018.

Yet, with the change of the paddock – and if there is more change there at the next trading deadline – there could be additions to this unit from the minor leagues that could make the next step to be part of the long-term future of this team.
