The White Sox are not hyping up outfielder Everson Pereira as a major acquisition, which is probably prudent for a 24-year-old with a career .146/.227/.215 batting line and a 38.6 percent strikeout rate through 50 games in the majors.
The team’s press release made no mention of his former top-100 prospect status, as he wouldn’t be the first Yankee minor leaguer whose hype outpaced results. Since Baseball America went out on a limb for the toolsy Venezuelan pre-2024, the Yankees flipped Pereira at the 2025 trade deadline for utility infielder José Caballero, before the Rays packaged him in a four-player deal with the White Sox on the league’s dedicated day for 40-man roster housekeeping.
The post Everson Pereira is another White Sox post-hype project, and probably their most extreme yet appeared first on Sox Machine.
