In the wake of free agent defections by Richie Zisk and Oscar Gamble but aspiring to a second year of Rent-a-Player success, the White Sox signed Ron Blomberg to a four-year, $600,000 contract - an absolutely insane commitment to a one-dimensional slugger who had played in just 35 games over the prior three seasons due to injury.
Blomberg retired after the season, at age 30, and remains one of the worst free-agent signings in White Sox history.
The expansion draft to stock two new National League teams in 1993, the Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins, was held.
For the first time in expansion draft history, this 1992 draft used teams from both leagues to stock one-league-only teams.
The White Sox lost pitchers Greg Hibbard (No. 12 pick overall) and Robert Person (No. 47) to the Marlins.
