The prospect of a prized white sox Andrew Vaughn The team’s opening day has created a roster. He’s not over 40 men in Chicago, so the team will need to pick him.
The White Sox could have got an extra year of service by keeping Vaughn down for the first few weeks of the season, but executive vice president Ken Williams said last week that it would not be a motivating factor in his decision. The team was true to its word. If Van does not return to the minor, he could be controlled by 2026 and eligible for arbitration after 2023, although the White Sox could certainly extend them before then, as they have done on several occasions with aggressive building blocks in recent years. like Yoann Moncada, Tim Anderson, Alloy Jimenez And Louis Robert.
General Manager Rick Heane said on Tuesday (By James Fagan of James Theletic), “Living around Andrew would be positive for this crime.” The Vine Sox expect Waugh to have a designated heater, first base and a factor in the left field, according to Hehna.
It became easier to imagine making an early roster for the Chicago season when the club received the disastrous news of Jimenez’s ruptured pectoral tendon last week. Jimenez underwent surgery Tuesday and is expected to miss out in at least five to six months, Henhe said. Hopefully that will help fill Von Jimenez’s formidable offensive rebuttal.
Now 22 years old, Vaughan is a former University of California native who was drafted by the White Sox in the third round in 2019 and subsequently signed on. Vaughan has not been on the high-A ball since, but he has found his place in the 245-plate standings at a minor drop of .278 / .384 / .449. He also looks ready for prime time this spring with a .279 / .375 / .459 line in at1 bat and six extra-base hits (three doubles, two home runs and a triple).
With the addition of Vaughn, the White Sox made several other roster moves on Tuesday. They gave the infielder the option Danny Mendic Resigned to their alternate site and to fellow infielders Tim Beckham, Czech Remillard And Matt Reynolds, Outfielder Nick Williams, And right Ryan Burr. Catcher was also previously introduced by the club Jonathan Lucroy Officer.
