The White Sox continued their quest to add pitching depth Friday, announcing a minor league deal with former Reds reliever Lucas Sims. The team has already added to bullpen depth in recent weeks, signing RHP Seranthony Dominguez to a two-year deal to be the primary closer. The White Sox have also added RHP Tyson Miller, LHP Ryan Borucki, and LHP Sean Newcomb as strong relief options to pair with the established young group of Grant Taylor, Jordan Leasure, and Mike Vasil.
Sims brings White Sox a wealth of experience but significant volatility
In Sims, who will turn 32 in May, the White Sox land a former first-round pick that’s primarily been a reliever since his 2017 rookie season.
