White Sox Minor League Update: Aug. 11, 2017

The White Sox trade more pool money for another intriguing A-ball prospect

With the White Sox unable to hand out bonuses larger than $300,000 to international players after blowing out their budget to sign Luis Robert, the Sox gave another team a portion of their pool money.

This time, they acquired pitcher Ryan Burr from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Burr, a fifth-round pick out of Arizona State in the 2015 draft, struck out 75 batters to 21 walks over 57 innings between A-ball Kane County and High-A Visalia. He’s trying to make up for lost time after an injury cost him the bulk of 2016 — not just the missed time, but lost effectiveness while trying to find his stuff.

If nothing else, the White Sox can make ample jokes by having him on the same roster as Ian Hamilton.

The Sox previously traded pool money to Texas for shortstop prospect Yeyson Yrizarri.
