The White Sox are following up the Phillies as the new rebuilding team in the MLB, notably selling off their two best players, Chris Sale and Adam Eaton, at the Winter Meetings in December. Rebuilding teams sometimes have to go to the scrap heap for players, and Chicago has done just that Friday.
Asche left Philadelphia after they declined to offer him a contract before the arbitration deadline. The team decided to designate him for assignment when they claimed reliever David Rollins off of waivers.
