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.
