The Chicago White Sox likely won’t be contenders in the American League this season. And that applied before they traded Luis Robert Jr. <\/a>to the New York Mets.<\/p>\n

However, the team still signed one of MLB’s top strikeout relievers on Friday, reportedly inking right-hander Seranthony Dominguez to a two-year, $20 million contract. The White Sox have not officially announced the signing.<\/p>\n

Dominguez, 31, pitched for the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays last season. Featuring a five-pitch arsenal (four-seam fastball, sweeper, splitter, sinker and curveball), he compiled a 3.16 ERA with 79 strikeouts in 62 2\/3 innings. His strikeout rate of 11.35 per nine innings ranked 23rd among qualifying MLB relievers.<\/p>\n

With that strikeout stuff come some control issues. Dominguez allowed a career-high 36 walks last season and tied for the MLB lead with 12 wild pitches.<\/p>\n

In the postseason, he made 12 appearances during the Blue Jays’ run to the World Series and registered a 3.18 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 11 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

During his seven MLB seasons, Dominguez has a career 3.50 ERA in 322 appearances with a strikeout rate of 10.6 per nine innings. He pitched his first six seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies.<\/p>\n

Presumably, Dominguez will be a good trade piece to offer at the deadline to contenders looking to bolster their bullpens, which would ideally allow the White Sox to add a top prospect or two. But for now, he’s part of an effort by White Sox general manager Chris Getz to strengthen the team’s roster.<\/p>\n

This offseason, the White Sox have also added relievers Sean Newcomb and Anthony Kay. They surprised MLB by signing Japanese third baseman Munetaka Murakami<\/a> and acquired infielder Luisangel Acu\u00f1a in the Robert trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago White Sox likely won’t be contenders in the American League this season.
