BOSTON — Jake Burger is mashing with the Marlins, making White Sox fans wince with every walk-off hit and home run from the popular third baseman and former first-round draft pick who was traded for left-handed pitching prospect Jake Eder before the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
It doesn’t help that Eder pitched to an 11.42 ERA in five starts at Double-A Birmingham after the deal. General manager Chris Getz recently dispatched Eder to the Sox’ pitchers-and-catchers camp at their training facility in Glendale, Arizona, to be run through their pitching lab “to gain a better understanding of how his body is moving and help with some adjustments,” Getz said.
