MESA, Ariz. -- Samuel Zavala’s debut with the White Sox organization was rained out when the club's Spring Breakout game against the Cubs at Sloan Park on Friday was canceled due to inclement weather.

But Zavala, who turned 19 on July 15, is working with and learning about his new team after being part of the four-player return from San Diego in the Dylan Cease trade.

“I’m excited for this team, a new home for me,” Zavala said during pre-rain workouts on Friday. “I got two days [with the White Sox] and I have incredible teammates, incredible team. Just looking forward to seeing more guys.”

The White Sox also acquired right-handed pitchers Drew Thorpe, Jairo Iriarte and Steven Wilson in a deal announced on Wednesday. Thorpe is ranked No. 85 in MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 and immediately moved to No. 3 on the White Sox Top 30 behind Colson Montgomery and Noah Schultz, who were both in Mesa. Montgomery, the No. 9 overall prospect, was set to hit second and play shortstop.

Iriarte, who was on the White Sox Spring Breakout roster, is ranked No. 9 in Chicago's system. Wilson will break camp as part of the bullpen and threw a scoreless fifth in a 3-2 win over the Cubs at Camelback Ranch on Friday.

“I really don’t know what the construction of the bullpen is yet. I don’t even know which guys are all in the bullpen,” Wilson told reporters in the White Sox complex at Camelback Ranch. “I’m still getting to know everybody.

“Hopefully getting some leverage roles and helping the team win ballgames. That’s all you’re hoping to do as a bullpen arm. That’s what I’m planning on doing.”

Thorpe, 23, posted a 14-2 record with a 2.52 ERA over 23 combined Minor League starts within the Yankees' system in 2023, with 182 strikeouts against 38 walks over 139 1/3 innings. With one of the better changeups among the lower-level hurlers and a fastball in the 91-95 mph range, Thorpe feels close to being Major League ready, with White Sox general manager Chris Getz mentioning all three pitchers could help the South Siders in ‘24.

This trade also marks the second one for Thorpe to process since Dec. 7, when he was part of the deal sending Juan Soto to the Yankees. Being moved for two such high-level players is a plus in Thorpe’s mind.

“That’s how you have to look at it,” Thorpe told reporters in Glendale. “Obviously, it sucks being traded twice in three months, but those are big-name players.

“Juan Soto is one of the best players in the game and Dylan Cease was a Cy Young runner-up. So that’s super exciting being traded for them, knowing that you’re wanted by other clubs.”

Zavala admitted to being a little disappointed when first traded, with the Padres being the only team he has known. The left-handed-hitting center fielder and native of Venezuela had a strong 2023 Minor League season, with a .391 OBP and a combined 14 home runs, 23 doubles, 87 runs scored and 21 stolen bases in Single-A and High-A. He hopes to build on that success after adding 15 pounds of offseason muscle.

“I’m not the type of person who gets comfortable with the results. I always want more,” Zavala said. “I can do way better than that and just look and just watch for this year. I worked hard in the offseason, lifting every day, putting some pounds on, getting ready for this season.

“I just like to be disciplined. I know my strike zone pretty well. I know my weaknesses, the pitches I know I’m weaker against, so I can adjust to those pitches. Don’t chase. I work a lot on my speed, trying to steal more bases. I’m looking to steal 30 bases here. I’m ready.”
