Cast your mind back to a long-ago time when Ian Clarkin left the White Sox organization on a waiver claim, joining the Cubs.
Well after an arduous journey lasting all of six days, Clarkin is a White Sock once more.

From White Sox to Cubs to White Sox, just like that.
Clarkin was originally brought to the White Sox organization in the seven-player trade with the New York Yankees in the summer of 2017. The South Siders got highly ranked outfield prospect Blake Rutherford as the centerpiece of the return package for the major league trio of David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle and Todd Frazier, and after Clarkin went to the Cubs last week, Robertson was the last player from that deal left standing in the White Sox organization.
