CHISOX GET TYLER GILBERT

The Chicago White Sox acquired pitcher Tyler Gilbert from the Philadelphia Phillies for pitcher Aaron Combs.

What does it give the Chicago White Sox
Gilbert provides the White Sox with a depth left-handed reliever. The 31-year-old has spent most of his career in the minors, while managing a 4.23 ERA in limited MLB innings across four seasons. He will compete for a role in Chicago's bullpen this spring, but will likely end up as depth at Triple-A Charlotte.

What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have bullpen depth and have been active in free agency, so they moved Gilbert for a pitching prospect. Combs is just beginning his career, after the White Sox selected him in the eighth round of the 2024 draft. He is a right-handed reliever who will continue to develop now in Philadelphia's organization.
