3 White Sox that deserve the Dallas Keuchel DFA treatment

Leury Garcia really should not be on the Chicago White Sox roster anymore.

Leury Garcia is the longest-tenured player on the Chicago White Sox. That should honestly tell you everything that you need to know about him. He survived some pretty bad years with this team and that is not a compliment.

They traded away almost every good player besides Jose Abreu and Tim Anderson to get assets and Garcia just hung around. He wasn’t good enough for them to get anything of value for him so he stuck around. The fact that he is still on the team is ridiculous.

He has certainly had some clutch moments. There have been walk-off home runs, big hits, and even a huge playoff moment. However, that is not enough of an excuse to keep using this guy as much as they do.

It wouldn’t be so bad if he was used as a 26th man. That is the perfect role for him on an elite team. Unfortunately, the White Sox use him way too much. Then when it makes sense to use him, as it was on Tuesday, he is on the bench.

The White Sox need to cut bait so that Tony La Russa has one less mediocre player to mismanage. They are unlikely to do it but he absolutely deserves the Dallas Keuchel treatment and all of his statistics would suggest it. 

It might be wise for Aaron Bummer to be DFA’d by the Chicago White Sox.

The Chicago White Sox are a team that is supposed to have an elite bullpen. They have been very good for most of the season but there have been some moments where they make you really question them. Few have been as up and down as Aaron Bummer.

It isn’t necessarily likely, but they shuld consider cutting ties with Aaron Bummer if he continues to struggle down the stretch. He has been better lately which should keep him in the bullpen but you just never know anymore.

Bummer does suffer from bad luck because of the nature of his sinking pitches but that isn’t always an excuse. There is no doubt that when it’s on, his stuff is nasty and very difficult to hit. We just need to see more of it in order for him to avoid the Dallas Keuchel treatment.

There isn’t a high likelihood that any of these guys are let go before the end of the season but it might be something to consider if things don’t turn around for the team. All people want to see is the White Sox get back into contention. We know this roster has talent but they aren’t maximizing it.
