The Chicago White Sox are at it again. This time the Chisox added veteran reliever Steve Cishek to their bullpen on a one year, $6 million deal with an option for the 2021 season.
Cishek has spent the past two seasons with the crosstown Cubs. He has proven to be one of MLB's most durable relievers making 80 appearances for the Cubs in 2018 and 70 appearances in 2019. In those 70 appearances, Cishek went 4-6 with a 2.95 ERA along with 7 saves. Cishek, 33, will likely join Aaron Bummer as the main set up men for Alex Colome. Should Colome falter or get hurt, Cishek could step into the closer's role as he was a closer for both the Miami Marlins and Seattle Mariners earlier in his career.
Cishek is the latest catch for a Chicago team that has added Yasmani Grandal, Edwin Encarnacion, Nomar Mazara as well as starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Gio Gonzalez. Combine that with a team which already has Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez and Lucas Giolito. And the White Sox still might not be done.
