Chad Kuhl
The White Sox should explore the options they have at Triple-A or even off the free-agent scrap heap rather than see if he can be a veteran who can provide guidance and performance next season.
First, he is not doing that right now with a 4.91 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. He has been terrible since the calendar flipped to August.
He is another poster boy for the frustration fans should have as he keeps getting relief appearances that should be going to a guy like Trey McGough or Adisyn Coffey. The front office should treat these September games like early spring training.
McGough and Coffey have pitched well out of the pen in Charlotte to warrant a look. Instead, Kuhl is allowed to stay on the 26-man roster and waste precious evaluation time.
Steven Wilson
Wilson has battled injuries and has been terrible all season. He was acquired in the Dylan Cease deal to be the team's setup man.
Instead, he has been ineffective or on the 15-day IL.
This is an instance where the front office brought in a pitcher who they thought could help the bullpen now and down the road since he will not be a free agent until 2028.
He is already 29 and looks nothing like the solid bullpen arm he was in San Diego. It would be better to non-tender him to open up a spot in the bullpen for one of the team's younger pitchers in the system or a free-agent addition.
