Alexy was designated for assignment last week by the Twins and will now head to their division-rival White Sox. 

The twenty-four-year-old pitcher has also spent time this offseason with the Texas Rangers and the Washington Nationals.

For his major-league career, the twenty-four-year-old holds a 6.30 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts across 30 innings of work, all with the Rangers.

Alexy has found more success in the minors, however, registering a 3.93 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and 465 strikeouts over 396 innings. He's made 78 starts and 27 relief appearances so he offers some versatility. 

It's a low-risk signing by the White Sox.

He is a former 11th-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2016 MLB Draft.
