Seeking to fortify themselves at catcher, Dave Duncan was acquired from Baltimore for Pat Kelly... Meanwhile Duncan never played a game for the South Siders; he was part of the final cuts before the team broke north in 1977, and retired.
Another expansion draft, stocking the new Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks franchises, found the White Sox losing three players. Catcher Jorge Fabergas was the No. 7 overall pick, going to the Diamondbacks, as did pitcher Chris Clemons at No. 43 and reliever Chuck McElroy at No. 67.
Fabergas and McElroy actually had come to the White Sox in the same trade, just six months earlier, as the White Sox swapped Tony Phillips and Chad Kreuter to the Angels for the pair.
