It was something of a rough holiday season for right-hander Owen White. Designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers after the signing of reliever Hoby Milner, White was stuck in DFA limbo during the one time of year when the usual seven-day window was extended due to the proliferation of holidays, his baseball future therefore up in the air at the worst possible time.
The former Top 100 prospect finally found a new home on Monday, however. The Cincinnati Reds acquired him from Texas in exchange for cash considerations, giving Derek Johnson and the Reds pitching gurus an interesting arm to work with on a very low-risk move.
