With the 2014
MLB First Year Player Draft now complete and players reporting for camp, two
former Bruins have found a home with an MLB club.
Both picked up
by the Chicago White Sox, pitcher Tanner Banks was selected in the 18th
round of the MLB Draft while infielder Eddy Alvarez signed a free-agent
contract with the club.
