White Sox Release Joe Barlo White Sox Release Joe Barlo

The White Sox released reliever from his minor league contract, James Fegan of Sox Machine. The right-hander had been pitching at Triple-A Charlotte. Barlow has Bill Mazeroski Jersey spent most of the year on the injured list. He wasnt able to make his Triple-A debut until June 5. Barlow took the ball 12 times for Charlotte over the past five weeks. He was hit hard, serving up 14 runs acro s 11 2/3 innings. While he struck out 14 opponents, he also walked eight and was tagged for five home runs. That wasnt going to get him a look even in a Chicago bullpen that has been one of the leagues worst. While he hasnt pitched in the majors this season, the 28-year-old Barlow logged big league time with the Rangers in each of the previous three years. He operated as Texas closer for a stretch between 2021-22 and combined for a 2.81 earned run average over 66 appearances during those two seasons. Barlows strikeout and walk rates were never as impre sive as his ERA, yet its still a bit surprising how quickly his numbers trended down. He only made 13 appearances for Bruce Bochy last year and was designated for a signment after the Rangers brought in pitching help at the deadline. The Royals claimed Barlow but kept him in Triple-A and eventually waived him themselves. Barlow hit minor league free agency last winter coming off a 5.52 ERA over 44 Triple-A frames. Hell look for another minor league opportunity now that hes back on the market. Tristan Gray Jersey
