Pruitt Releases Amount Highlighted in White Sox Deal
Hinckley Ohio catcher and utility man Pruitt was released by the Chicago White Sox earlier this year. Traded to Chicago by Cleveland last season for Alan Bannister, he signed a $15,000 with the Indians for the Charleston Charlies. If kept on Charleston he would earn $100,000 this year, but if called up by Cleveland he could receive about $32,500, with the White Sox allowed to offset to $85,000.
