Huge signing by Getz to kickoff the pre-meeting dealings...

[WestEddy]

Cal Mitchell, OF out of Pittsburg's minor league system, just spent the previous year treading water in El Paso for the Padres.

Outfielder Cal Mitchell and the Chicago White Sox have agreed to a minor league deal, sources tell @JustBB_Media. Includes an invite to big league camp.

Mitchell, 25, has a career .627 OPS in 71 MLB games, but hit .277/.359/.512 with 22 HR in the hitter-friendly PCL last season.

Uhhh..what?

The Braves just signed superstar Jose Devers. The Rays, Jays, Royals, Reds have all made similar deals in the past few days. You’re either being ignorant or disingenuous. 
 

nice thread though.

Second round draft pick. Another guy to throw into the mix and see if he can hit.

I’m hoping this response and the thread title are sarcasm.

AAA filler...most likely.

That's what I thought it was.

There is only one week before this site is alive with chatter about all our new players.

Dude, relax. I'm goofin'. There aren't even rumors right now. Just trying to fire up some convo.

We got a great caulfield thread, now Eddy. Just need a Ron thread to complete the trifecta

It is not the highlight of every other team’s signings though.

Greg775 has been on a roll recently.

Why should anyone be expecting any other type of signing?

True. 

But for some teams it's so minor that no one notices. 

For other teams is interesting but not impactful. 

Then there are a couple teams like the Sox where it's a major signing worth lots of discussions.

Of course but you're hoping to find someone young enough with power to break out whcan field adequately. He might be in Sheets territory as a fielder.
