Red Sox pitching prospect Trennor O’Donnell threw a live BP today. At 6’7 and listed at 240 pounds, I think it’s safe to say O’Donnell is one of the most intimidating figures on the mound in the organization.

White Sox got a very impressive pitching package for Dylan Cease. Drew Thorpe is the more known arm, but Jairo Iriarte had a 15.6-SO9 at AA!!! Definitely still a work in progress, but White Sox fans should be pretty content 👏🏻
