Competition among intriguing young arms could help define roles in White Sox bullpen of the future

The White Sox bullpen of the future has been assembled rather quickly.

Summertime trades shipping veteran arms out of town and the annual expansion of rosters that happens this time of year has rapidly changed the look of the relief corps. It’s gotten younger, and there’s a heck of a lot more potential for these guys to form the group that Rick Renteria will call on when the White Sox eventually transition from rebuilding mode to contention mode.

Seven pitchers under the age of 26 now reside out in the White Sox bullpen, with the majority called up in recent weeks: Aaron Bummer, Ryan Burr, Caleb Frare, Jace Fry, Ian Hamilton, Jose Ruiz and Thyago Vieira.
