The Chicago White Sox made a minor league signing in 2019 that probably got overlooked in Jacob Lindgren, as Matt Eddy of Baseball America reported at the time.
Lindgren, 27, started his professional career as a second-round pick of the New York Yankees and quickly found himself in the major leagues, as he made his MLB debut in 2015.
However, he didn’t impress in seven appearances as he allowed four runs, including three homers, which prompted him to start the 2016 season in the minor leagues.
What Lindgren didn’t realize then was that his seven appearances in 2015 would be the only ones of his career entering the 2020 season.
