The White Sox added Thompson to their 60-man roster pool Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago announced Thompson and 2020 second-round pick Jared Kelley as the newest additions to their alternate training site in Schaumburg. Thompson tossed only two innings at the White Sox's rookie-ball affiliate in 2019, so his inclusion in the pool is likely just a means for the organization to oversee his development rather than an attempt to fast-track him to the big leagues in 2020.
