RebuildingRebuilding teams naturally try to add youth to their rosters, and the White Sox are no exception, as they yesterday cut 35-year old Kevin Pillar — and signed 34-year old Robbie Grossman. Today, they’re sent 40-year-old reliever Jesse Chavez packing, so brace yourself for spry 50-year-old Bartolo Colón to be squeezing into the pinstripes here for the third time.
Really, six or eight more really sharp moves like that and maybe the White Sox will stumble into a player who’s actually in his prime.
Meanwhile, there’s a game to play today, the home spring finale at Camelback Ranch, with Nick Nastrini taking the mound against the Seattle Mariners.
