White Sox and the Biggest Winners and Losers from 2020 MLB Winter Meetings

With that, Chicago's rotation got a pitcher with a 3.57 ERA over 292.1 innings since 2019.The White Sox also reunited with right fielder Adam Eaton via a one-year, $7 million deal Tuesday. He'll bring speed and energy to the top of a lineup that was already loaded with power.Even if they're not done just yet, the White Sox are already positioned to leapfrog the Minnesota Twins—who have yet to fill holes left by Nelson Cruz and other key free agents—in the American League Central.Once Lynn went to the White Sox, no team may have been kicking itself harder than the San Diego Padres.After the team ended its own long absence from the playoffs (14 years) in 2020, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the Padres were eyeing Lynn as an upgrade for a rotation that's missing Garrett Richards (free agent) and Mike Clevinger (Tommy John surgery).It should have been no problem for the Padres to acquire Lynn. The situation was emblematic of how, in Rosenthal's words, the Phillies are "stuck in neutral" in the wake of three straight disappointing seasons.That's not an ideal mode in relation to the rest of the National League East, which otherwise doesn't feature any teams that aren't gunning for the division title in 2021.The Los Angeles Angels still have major holes to fill in their starting rotation, but at least they now have a pretty good closer lined up for 2021.The Angels acquired right-hander Raisel Iglesias in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
