White Sox Trade Gregory Santos to Mariners

Santos burst onto the scene as a high-leverage relief option while Liam Hendriks was sidelined for most of the 2023 season. In 60 games with the White Sox, Santos posted a 3.39 ERA, 1.296 WHIP, and 9.0 K/9 across 66.1 innings.

Berroa is a 23-year-old right-hander who got a taste of MLB action with Seattle in 2023. He tossed just 1.2 innings in two appearances at the big-league level but had a 2.89 ERA, 1.286 WHIP, and 13.9 K/9 in 65.1 innings with the Mariners' Double-A affiliate. Berroa finished 2023 as Seattle's No. 15-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline.

DeLoach, a 25-year-old outfielder, was a second-round pick of the Mariners in 2020. For his minor-league career, DeLoach owns a .275/.277/.455 slash line with 51 home runs and 220 RBIs across 1,623 plate appearances. The Texas A&M product slashed .286/.387/.481 with 23 home runs and 88 RBIs across 623 plate appearances with Triple-A Tacoma last season. DeLoach finished 2023 as the Mariners' No. 25-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline.

Adding another draft pick in this deal can't hurt for the White Sox, who are amid a rebuild even if the front office won't explicitly say so. Chicago landed the No. 5 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, falling one spot from their place in the 2023 reverse standings as a result of the Draft Lottery.

The White Sox designated pitcher Lane Ramsey for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.
