Boras played the biggest role. Detroit's offer was mostly leverage for him. Boston eventually ponied up. He is tearing it up with Boston and they have a ton of young talent. 3/120 with opt-outs is a good deal
Since the White Sox don't deem with worthy of being on their 40, I doubt any team claims him. So Detroit will have the option of buying him back if they are interested.
I think he has to clear waivers, and Detroit would have to decline to buy him back before Chicago can send him to a farm club. But my understanding of such things is on the level of Clifford the big red dog, so who knows.
Wow, looks like Workman is getting dfa'd already by ChiSox

Old Hoss pitched in the 600 inning era. Over 2 seasons (1883-4) he started 141 games, completing 139. He went 108-37. In total he won 300+ games in 11 seasons. I also heard he was an excellent bowler and was the first riverdance phenom

Both DeGrom yesterday and Evoldi today, they're pitching really well. And Texas bats have been overdue. Sucks, but not a tragedy for Detroit. Maybe they get to Texas bullpen yet today
Speaking of Colorado, they are on pace for a 25-137 season, and after 39 games their run differential is -134. They might be worse than the 2024 White Sox
