These additions both make more sense than Mike Clevinger, whose arrival was rumored before Monday's moves became official. White Sox To Select Mike Clevinger https://t.co/K18jFcoAlL pic.twitter.com/TJ9D0ciS5J — MLB Trade Rumors (@mlbtraderumors) September 1, 2025Mike Clevinger, thankfully, won’t be joining the Chicago White Sox this September 1stThe reports that Clevinger was getting promoted are false (at least, for now), with Jim Margalus of SoxMachine retracting his report. Mike Clevinger is not among the initial moves, contrary to what I heard in Nashville. Thankfully, for their sake, it doesn’t appear Clevinger will be donning a White Sox uniform this season, or in the future. Turning 35 and a free agent after this season, Clevinger has likely played his last year with the White Sox.
