White Sox Sign Juan Then To Minor-League Deal
The Chicago White Sox signed free-agent right-hander Juan Then to a minor-league deal. Then made his major-league debut last year with the Seattle Mariners and pitched in 11 innings out of their bullpen, allowing six earned runs on 14 hits (three homers) while walking two and striking out five. The 23-year-old will almost certainly begin the 2024 season at Triple-A Charlotte to provide Chicago with relief depth. The Dominican hurler could eventually get another shot in the big leagues this year because of the fact that the White Sox don't have great depth in their bullpen, but Then won't be on the fantasy radar at all. In six seasons in the minor leagues, Then has recorded a 4.46 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, three saves, 88 walks and 250 strikeouts in 262 1/3 innings pitched in 95 appearances (51 starts).
