Is Bobby Jenks in his final days with the Chicago White Sox?
By
Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks could be in his final days in a Chicago White Sox uniform. According to MLB.com, Jenks could be a non-tender candidate as a third-year arbitration eligible player – meaning that the White Sox may not offer Jenks a contract since they don’t want to pay him what he’s worth in arbitration. If the Sox decide to non-tender Jenks, then he can become a free agent, he’ll be free to sign with any club.
Jenks is experiencing ulnar neuritis which is causing him pain in his right forearm and tingling in this right arm. It’s unknown if he’ll be able to play in the team’s final seven games at home.
“Every time he’s been on the mound, he’s been great for us,” said manager Ozzie Guillen. “We gambled with this kid and it worked pretty good. We win the lottery. This kid was in Double-A and we picked him up and he pitched very well for us. Hopefully we get him back, but that’s someone else’s department. He was great for the White Sox organization.”
