On Friday night, the Chicago White Sox will open up a series with the Seattle Mariners (at home) in Illinois.
The White Sox are coming off an 8-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels (on Wednesday) in California.
White Sox Let Go Of 4-Year MLB Player
Ahead of Friday’s game, the White Sox announced that they had made a roster move.
The White Sox wrote (via X): “Prior to tonight’s series opener vs. Seattle, the White Sox recalled left-handed pitcher Tyler Schweitzer from Class AAA Charlotte and designated right-hander Osvaldo Bido for assignment.”
Bido had started out his season with the Atlanta Braves (before getting claimed by Chicago).
This season, the 30-year-old has gone 2-0 with a 6.27 ERA in 11 games.
Bido’s MLB Career
Bido has spent part of four seasons in the MLB.
Before the White Sox and Braves, he had stints with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Athletics.
Over 69 career games, Bido has gone 11-13 with a 5.17 ERA.
Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@LockedOnSox: “Tyler Schweitzer gets another shot in the big leagues and Osvaldo Bido gets let go”
@PhD_NickRiviera: “Great news! Now DFA Acuña and Quero.”
@TheM_MJacket: “LOVE THIS MOVE!!!”
@ChiSoxFanMike: “We finally reached the point of the rebuild where they are dumping guys who aren’t pulling their weight. That’s refreshing to see.”
@Noahp245: “Schweitzer has strong numbers in AAA. Makes sense to give the innings to a 25 year old rather than a struggling veteran”
