The White Sox plan to promote top prospects Drew Thorpe in the majors on Tuesday, manager Pedro Grifol told reporters (including James Fegan of the SoxMachine). He will make his MLB debut against the Seattle Mariners.
Thorpe, 23, was the centerpiece of a four-player package the White Sox acquired from the Padres in the deal that sent ace righty Dylan Cease to San Diego in March. It was Thorpe's second trade that season, as the Padres acquired Thorpe from the Yankees as part of the Juan Soto package in December. As one would expect from a prospect who was part of the comeback of two superstars in different blockbusters in the same season, Thorpe is the consensus prospect of 100 in the sport. The righty is currently ranked #41 by Baseball America and #54 by MLB Pipeline.
