Luis Robert has moved on the greener pastures, but that does not mean future major leaguers do not populate the Dominican Summer League White Sox.
Now, last season, the average age of the team’s hitters was 17.9 and the average age of the pitching staff was 19.3. These players are clearly far away from the big leagues, but some could make the jump to the states to this or next season.
Because of the Robert contract, the White Sox couldn’t sign prospects for more than $300,000 this offseason. While that took them out of the running for many top international blue chips, the Sox used some international signing money in trades for other prospects, like Thyago Vieira of the Seattle Mariners.
