Apparently, the White Sox front office though Don Cooper needed a project. So, they got him one.
The White Sox made a move today and acquired right-handed pitcher Anthony Ranaudo from the Texas Rangers in exchange for minor league righty Matt Ball. To make room for somebody, the Sox optioned Scott Carroll to Charlotte. But it's likely not Ranaudo, as the Sox announced they optioned him to Charlotte as well.
The Sox said they'll make a corresponding move before the series opener against the Yankees on Friday.
