Signed RHP Matt Lindstrom to a one-year deal with a club option. [1/19]

What is wrong with Matt Lindstrom? The White Sox are his fifth team since 2010 and his sixth team since 2009. Arizona declined a $4 million option earlier in the winter despite Lindstrom’s solid three-year stats (3.38 ERA, 2.48 strikeout-to-walk ratio) and stuff (mid-90s heater, knockout slider when he locates). Granted Lindstrom has always been a bit of a tease: a pitcher with better stuff than results is bound to change addresses more often than his counterparts do. But he’s also been an adequate reliever, particularly against righties. If the White Sox elect to move on after a solid season, then we might have our answer whether we realize it or not.
