A new arm is joining the organization.
The White Sox announced on Friday that right-handed pitcher Justin Dunn has agreed to a minor-league deal. He will also receive a non-roster invite to Spring Training.
Dunn, 29, was selected 19th overall by the Mets in the 2016 MLB Draft. His time in New York’s organization was short-lived, as he was one of the headliners in the December 2018 trade centered around Seattle’s Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz. Following the five-player deal, Dunn made 25 starts over three seasons with the Mariners, posting a 3.94 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 102.2 innings pitched.
The former Boston College product was again traded in March 2022, this time in a deal centered around Cincinnati’s Eugenio Suarez and Jesse Winker. Dunn was dealing with shoulder problems at the time, which led to an abbreviated 2022 season. He went on to own a 6.10 ERA in 31 innings for the Reds and hasn’t appeared in the majors since.
This is a developing story. More info to come.
