As reported by Southside Showdown’s Etheria Modacure, the White Sox signed former Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera to a two-year deal on Monday. While his name value gives him a lot of credit, there are other reasons why signing Herrera could work out big time in Chicago’s favor.
First, Herrera is one signing that helps the White Sox improve a bullpen that struggled last season. A two-time All-Star, Herrera struggled more with Washington last season when he compiled a 4.34 ERA in 21 appearances. However, he did pitch remarkably well on a Royals team earlier in the season that finished with the second-worst record in all of baseball.
