The White Sox have signed hurler to a minor league deal, according to an from their Triple-A club. Hell report to the Soxs top farm team in Charlotte. Urea was cut loose from a minor league pact with the Nationals last week. Chicago is his third organization of the season. He began the year with the Rockies after re-signing on a $3.5MM free agent contract. He was blitzed for 22 runs in 18 1/3 innings over his first five starts, however, and the Rox quickly moved on. Things didnt go much better in the Nats system. Urea picked up 15 starts for their top affiliate in Rochester but managed a 6.31 ERA over 67 frames. His 8.4% walk percentage there was fine, but he struggled with home runs and only punched out 18.2% of opposing hitters. While his 2023 performance has been below-average, Urea Michael Pezzetta Jersey adds some experience to the upper minors of the Soxs system. Hes a veteran of nine major league campaigns, working mostly as a starter over that time. Urea had back-to-back sub-4.00 ERA showings for the Marlins in 2017-18. Hes allowed more than five earned runs per nine in each of the five seasons since then, though he still throws fairly hard. Urea averaged north of 95 MPH on both his four-seam and sinker during his early-season big league stint with the Rox. Colorado is on the hook for Ureas $3MM salary and a $500K buyout on a 2024 option. If the Sox called him up at any point in the seasons final couple months, theyd pay him only the prorated portion of the $720K minimum rate. Urea will head back to free agency at the start of the offseason whether he earns a big league call or not. Hell offer some injury insurance in the interim as the White Sox play out a disappointing season. Maurice Richard Jersey
