Overview
- Cleveland chose Pallette from Chicago in the major-league phase of the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.
- Rule 5 terms include a $100,000 acquisition cost and an offer back to the White Sox for $50,000 if he does not stay on the 26-man roster all season.
- He split 2025 between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, recording a 4.06 ERA with 86 strikeouts, 28 walks, and 11 saves across 52 relief appearances.
- His minor-league résumé shows a 4.20 ERA with 10.7 strikeouts and 4.2 walks per nine innings, highlighting swing-and-miss stuff with control concerns.
- The Guardians, targeting bullpen help, also selected RHP Jack Carey in the Triple-A phase and recently signed right-hander Connor Brogdon.
