AI Summary
Seranthony Dominguez blew a save against the Cubs, allowing three runs on one hit and a walk. The article questions his performance relative to his $20 million contract with the White Sox and suggests Grant Taylor could potentially take over the closer role.
Dominguez walked Alex Bregman to begin the inning before striking out Ian Happ. Seiya Suzuki then reached on an error before Michael Conforto connected for a three-run, game-tying jack. Dominguez signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the White Sox this past offseason. That's closer money, but he simply hasn't pitched as one of the best relievers in this bullpen. Grant Taylor has the skills to usurp the job if Chicago is willing to move on from his multi-inning role. Dominguez has earned 10 saves so far in 2026, but his 2.4 HR/9 is the sixth-highest among qualified relievers.
