CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have acquired left-handed pitcher Manny Banuelos from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Minor League infielder Justin Yurchak.

Banuelos spent the entire 2018 season with Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers organization, going 9-7 with a 3.73 ERA (45 ER/108.2 IP) and 127 strikeouts (10.6 per 9.0 IP) over 31 games (18 starts) to earn a spot on the Pacific Coast League mid and postseason All-Star teams. He was 8-5 with a 3.55 ERA (36 ER/91.1 IP) and 109 strikeouts over his 18 starts.

Banuelos, 5-foot-10 and 215 pounds, was signed by the Dodgers as a free agent on Nov. 14, 2017, and received a non-roster invite to Spring Training. He has gone 41-42 with a 3.56 ERA (311 ER/787.0 IP) and 774 strikeouts in 213 games (153 starts) over 10 Minor League seasons in the Yankees, Atlanta and Angels and Dodgers organizations. Banuelos also made seven appearances (six starts) with the Braves in 2015, going 1-4 with a 5.13 ERA (15 ER/26.1 IP) and 19 strikeouts in his only Major League season.

A native of Durango, Mexico, Banuelos originally was signed by the Yankees as a free agent on March 30, 2008.

Yurchak, 22, batted .256 (80-313) with one home run, 36 RBIs and 44 runs scored over 95 games last season with Class A Kannapolis. Yurchak originally was selected by the White Sox in the 12th round of the 2017 Draft out of SUNY Binghamton.

After purchasing the contract of Banuelos, the White Sox 40-man roster increases to 35.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Former all everything prospect for the Yankees. He was compared to Clayton Kershaw. He and Delin Betances were going to lead the Yankees back to glory. One of the many young pitchers you never hear about after Tommy John surgery. Actually I think he had two TJ’s.

Rollin' bones ... Looks like another project for SooperCoop!

Him and Coop can work together on putting the fork down

I would like the Sox to get Donaldson, Familia and Kuechel if they do not land one of the two big fish.

I think they NEED to walk out of free agency with one of either Machado, Donaldson or Moustakas.

Sounds like Ricky is getting an extension.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Clown show over there, extending a bad skipper and not even having having the balls to say the length and salary.

Yes, and people need to stop pretending free agents don't know about this. There's going to be a lot of disappointed fans wondering "what happened" when they don't come close to the top tier free agents and they don't even get the conciliation prize free agents.

ehh, they tacked on a year. Nothing's changed. He was going to be here no matter what this year and he's still completely fireable.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Exactly.

Next year is a dead year anyway.

Ozzie was a winning manager. 61 games over .500 and five winning seasons with the Sox.

How many winning seasons did Ventura have?

So you're saying they still think the same way as when Ventura was pretend managing?
Everything is different.
