The White Sox non-tendered reliever Bobby Jenks, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of
FOX Sports. Lefty Erick Threets, who was not arbitration eligible, was also
cut loose.
Jenks, 30 in March, will probably be the day's most glamorous addition to the
free agent list. The 6'4", 275 pound righty posted his best strikeout rate
since his rookie year, but the Sox unsurprisingly did not deem him worthy of
a raise upon this year's $7.5MM salary.
Jenks burst on to the scene with the 2005 World Championship club and ended
up with 173 saves in his White Sox career. All those saves would have made
his arbitration reward excessive for the Sox, but now Jenks' agents at Legacy
Sports can seek a multiyear deal on the open market.
Threets, a hard-throwing 29-year-old, tossed 12 1/3 innings for the Sox this
year without allowing an earned run. He had an excellent ERA at Triple-A as
well, though his strikeout rates were low at both stops. He did have a
strong 55.6% groundball rate in his brief Major League stint.
