The White Sox continued their sell-off this week, sending relief pitchers Anthony Swarzak to the Brewers and Dan Jennings to the Rays.  Swarzak was traded on Wednesday, just two days after earning his first career save against the Cubs.  Prospect Ryan Cordell, an outfielder, comes back to Chicago, or Charlotte rather, where he will end up once he comes off the disabled list.

The Jennings trade was announced earlier today.  The Rays will send first baseman Casey Gillaspie, brother of former White Sox third baseman Conor Gillaspie, back to the south side.  Gillaspie is also currently injured, and will join Cordell on the disabled list in Charlotte.

With these moves, plus the earlier trade with the Yankees, Jake Petricka remains as the only member of the opening day bullpen still on the active roster.  What was a strength has suddenly become awfully shaky, although, with the race on for the top pick in next year’s draft, that may be for the best.
