Years With White Sox: 2010-2011
Sergio Santos joined the White Sox organization as a minor league free agent on January 12, 2009. On March 20, he was traded to the Giants, and then returned to the White Sox on April 1. At this point, he was converted from an infielder to a pitcher. After appearing in 4 different minor league levels in 2009, he broke camp with the White Sox in 2010 and made his major league debut on April 8, throwing a scoreless inning of relief in a 5-3 loss to the Indians. Santos ended up the year with a 2.96 ERA in 56 appearances.
In 2011, Santos became the team’s closer. He went 4-5 with a 3.55 ERA while notching 30 saves, in just his third season as a pitcher. That December, Santos was traded to the Blue Jays for Nestor Molina, who has yet to reach the big leagues.
