Following the 1996 season, there were 2 big free agent pitchers available on the open market.\u00a0 One had decided that Chicago was the place for him.\u00a0 Intrigued by a lineup that included both Frank Thomas and Albert Belle, Roger Clemens had his agents reach out to Jerry Reinsdorf.\u00a0 GM Ron Schueler had other ideas, which included Navarro, who was coming off of a 29-18 record in 2 years with the Cubs.\u00a0 Clemens ultimately ended up in Toronto, where he won back-to-back Cy Young awards in 1997 and 1998.\u00a0 Navarro went completely off the rails, going 25-43 with a 6.06 earned-run average in his three seasons with the White Sox.\u00a0 “For me Navarro was just a better value than Roger,” Schueler said.\u00a0 “There wasn’t as much risk<\/a>. . . . We talked to our scouts about [Clemens]. They did not recommend him for even a three-year deal. They felt like there is a danger he’s going to have arm problems.”<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, Navarro’s most valuable contribution to the White Sox was the trade that sent him out of town.\u00a0 The Brewers, for reasons that I can not comprehend, sent Cal Eldred and Jose Valentin to the Sox for Navarro in January of 2000.\u00a0 Of course, those two helped lead the White Sox to the AL Central title later that same year.\u00a0 Navarro, meanwhile, pitched in 12 more major league games before being sent to the scrap heap.<\/p>\n
