Chicago White Sox: 3 most underrated relievers in the bullpen

On paper, the Chicago White Sox bullpen was supposed to be one of the best in baseball heading into the season. Aaron Bummer even went as far as to say that the goal was to be undefeated when holding a lead after the fifth inning.

With those additions, the White Sox bullpen is primed and ready to help the team make a deep postseason run. The Chicago White Sox bullpen features some big arms. They are headlined by guys such as Liam Hendriks, Craig Kimbrel, Aaron Bummer, and Micheal Kopech.

Liam Hendriks was voted the best reliever in baseball according to MLB Network over the offseason. He also leads the American League in saves. Craig Kimbrel is a future Hall of Famer who has amassed over 1,000 strikeouts during his career.

Aaron Bummer signed an extension with the White Sox after two very productive seasons with the team. He limited opponents to a .507 OPS over the course of 2019-2020, which is the lowest mark among MLB relievers. His 27 holds in 2019 were also the third-highest total in franchise history.
