Joins White Sox on minors deal
Richard signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox on Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Richard has been a useful pitcher at times in his career, but he's coming off a season in which he recorded a 5.96 ERA in 10 starts for the Blue Jays. His lowest ERA in the last three seasons was his unimpressive 4.79 mark for the Padres back in 2017. The White Sox will see if the 36-year-old lefty has anything left in the tank at their alternate training site.

Richard was the Padres' Opening Day starter. He struggled out of the gate, posting a 6.21 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over his first seven starts. At that point, Richard went on a run, posting a 3.03 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in his next nine outings. Eventually, he reverted back to being Clayton Richard, finishing with a 7.21 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in his final 11 efforts. His season ended prematurely in late August as he was battling knee inflammation that was revealed to be bothering him all season. Richard underwent surgery on both knees with the expectation he'll be 100 percent by the start of spring training. Now with Toronto following a December trade, Richard is at best a streaming option when the Blue Jays are on the road, and not in Boston or New York. Handle with care.
