On August 4th, 2023 the White Sox dealt some surplus Int'l money to the Dodgers for 2 unknown commodities in Aldrin Batista and Maximo Martinez.  We have yet to see Maximo, but Aldrin Batista's herky-jerky motion and crazy arm slot has been a big development.

In 2024 Batista pitched across 2 levels, going from Kannapolis (A) to Winston-Salem (Adv A) and was nothing short of fantastic. He put up a 2.93 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP across 110.2IP. He struck out 116 to only 39 BB, and a better ratio in Adv A.

(He possibly also set the SP record of theme night jerseys worn.)
