The White Sox added a reasonably priced right-hander with experience to their unsettled starting rotation mix Wednesday, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $1.05 million contract with Bryse Wilson.
Wilson went 5-4 with a 4.04 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 104⅔ innings and 34 appearances, including nine starts, for the Brewers in 2024.
The 6-2, 270-pound 26-year-old is 20-21 with a 4.61 ERA in 143 career appearances (52 starts) in seven seasons with the Braves (2018-21), Pirates (2021-22) and Brewers (2023-24).
The Sox’ rotation has no clear-cut Opening Day starter after Garrett Crochet was traded last week and multiple possibilities to assume roles, including Jonathan Cannon, Davis Martin, Sean Burke, Drew Thorpe, Jake Eder, Ky Bush, Jared Shuster, Nick Nastrini and now Wilson. General manager Chris Getz, on a rebuilding mission after two consecutive 100-plus loss seasons, had said he would add a veteran or two to the rotation mix.
To make room on the roster, the Sox traded catcher Chuckie Robinson to the Angels for cash considerations. On Tuesday, catcher Matt Thaiss was acquired from the Cubs for cash considerations. Thaiss spent the 2024 season with the Angels.
Also Wednesday, the Sox signed infielder Andre Lipcius to a minor league deal. Lipcius will be a non-roster invite to spring training.
