White Sox Ink Lefty Sean Newcomb to One-Year Deal, Offer Chance to Start
Chicago, IL – The Chicago White Sox announced this morning they have reached an agreement with left-handed pitcher Sean Newcomb on a one-year, $4.5 million contract. According to reports, the White Sox will give Newcomb an opportunity to compete for a starting role.
To make room for Newcomb on the 40-man roster, the White Sox designated left-hander Ryan Rolison for assignment.
Newcomb, 32, was a highly touted prospect early in his career. After initially starting with the Atlanta Braves, he transitioned into a bullpen role after struggling during the 2019 season. The White Sox are hoping Newcomb can revitalize his career on the South Side, whether as a starter or a valuable left-handed option in the bullpen.
Some fans are wondering if the move signals a more competitive approach for the team in the upcoming season and will serve as a trade piece later in the season.
