In a bit of surprise, on Sunday the Chicago White Sox acquired Caleb Frare for $1.5 million in international pool money. That’s more pool money than the Sox spent on Ryan Burr, Yeyson Yrizarri and Thyago Viera combined!
Frare (six-foot-one, 210 pounds) was the New York Yankees’ 11th-round draft choice in 2012, from Custer County H.S. in Miles City, Mont. and just enjoyed his 25th birthday earlier this month.
After a solid campaign with the Yankees rookie league squad, Frare underwent Tommy John surgery, which forced him to miss the 2013 and 2014 campaigns.
