As expected, Oscar Colas and Romy Gonzalez made the team and Leury Garcia did not.
"The message from Jerry Reinsdorf was clear that we need to go with the best 26 to put us in the best position to win this year," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn told reporters in Houston."Even if in the end, as was the case with Leury, it wound up with us having to eat some sunk cost on the contract there."
by signing up you agree to our terms of service "In the end, the thought was let's go with the strongest guys who can fill in when needed, and this is, we all agree, the right thing to do. It's about winning ballgames, not about contracts."
