It was one of the worst deals in White Sox GM Ron Schueler's career, as he traded pitcher Melido Perez and minor hurlers Bob Wickman and Domingo Jean to the Yankees for Steve Sax.
The Southpaw had a solid enough 2011 (4.22 ERA/103 ERA+, 0.5 WAR in 59 games) for the underachieving White Sox. However, Ohman's 2012 was so bad (6.41 ERA/67 ERA+, -0.3 WAR in 32 games) that the White Sox released him on July 3 and ate the last million of his contract.
As the next step in their ill-fated 'Manny Machado Friends and Family' caper to cajole the prime free agent target to Chicago, the White Sox signed journeyman outfielder Jon Jay to a $4 million deal.
