Martin Maldonado, one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, is being designated for assignment by the Chicago White Sox due to his declining defense and below-average offensive performance.
In 48 games this season, Maldonado had a .403 OPS with 51 strikeouts, leading to his DFA. Ironically, he showed improved performance recently with a 1.537 OPS in his last five games.
Maldonado's MLB career includes a Gold Glove award, a World Series win in 2022, and impressive defensive stats. Chuckie Robinson is being called up to replace him for the White Sox.
