Frequently Asked Questions
Who did the White Sox trade to get Chris Murphy?
The White Sox sent catching prospect Ronny Hernandez to the Boston Red Sox in November to acquire left-handed reliever Chris Murphy.
What were Chris Murphy's stats with the Red Sox last season?
Murphy posted a 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 7.8 K/9 rate in 23 appearances covering 34.2 innings. Opposing hitters batted just .172 against him in 148 plate appearances.
Which White Sox relievers might get sent down because of Murphy making the team?
Brandon Eisert and Tyler Gilbert appear to be the odd men out despite making 118 appearances for the team last season. Both still have minor league options and could be sent to Triple-A Charlotte.
What happened to Rule 5 pick Alexander Alberto?
Alberto was placed on waivers after struggling this spring with a 10.80 ERA and 2.40 WHIP in 6.2 innings. If he goes unclaimed, the White Sox must offer him back to the Rays for $50,000.
Who are the two left-handed relievers in the White Sox bullpen now?
Chris Murphy will serve as the second lefty in the bullpen behind recent free agent signing Sean Newcomb.
