The White Sox addition of Tanner Murray this offseason went somewhat overlooked amidst a flurry of activity. The team acquired Murray in a trade with the Rays back in November, which also netted them outfielder Everson Pereira. As Spring Training rolls along, White Sox fans who were unfamiliar with Murray are starting to learn his name, as he’s been one of the early spring standouts. Murray has played so well, in fact, that I’m beginning to wonder if he could force the White Sox to make a drastic decision.
Until recently, it felt like the White Sox backup infield job was a competition between Lenyn Sosa and Curtis Mead.
