1990: Robin Ventura and Scot Radinsky of the White Sox received votes in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting. The results of the balloting, which had Cleveland catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. unanimously winning the award, were released on this date. Ventura, a third baseman, finished seventh with three points while Radinsky, a reliever, was ninth with a point.

 

2000: The White Sox traded left-handed pitcher Scott Eyre to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-hander Gary Glover. Eyre showed some promise between 1997 and 2000 but his ERA was never below 5.04 in any of his four seasons with the Sox. Glover won 13 games as a swingman for the Sox from 2001 to 2003 before being dealt to the Angels in the middle of the 2003 campaign. … Also on this day, the Sox released infielder Craig Wilson. The utilityman made a huge splash with the Sox in 1998, hitting .468 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 13 games but he was never able to crack the starting lineup over the next two years.
