The Chicago White Sox are addressing their bullpen struggles after a poor 2023 season by bringing in new players including Penn Murfee, who has overcome injury setbacks. Following elbow surgery, Murfee secured a position in the bullpen after demonstrating his health in spring training. His return marked a major milestone, debuting in an MLB game after over 21 months. Known for his impressive stats and pitching skills, Murfee's refined sweeper could lead to a breakout season, adding depth to the Sox's bullpen efforts to improve.
Murfee proved his health during spring training and earned a spot in the White Sox bullpen. He was their first reliever to appear in a game this season.
Unless you're a diehard baseball follower, you likely don't remember Murfee from his time with the Seattle Mariners when he was among the most undervalued relievers in baseball.
The refinement of his sweeper makes Murfee a prime candidate for a breakout season, having flashed it during the spring and thrown it often in his outings.
He pitched exceptionally well in 2022, finishing his rookie year with a 4-0 record, a 2.99 ERA and a WHIP below one.
