The Chicago White Sox have signed outfielder Joey Gallo to a minor league contract, inviting him to spring training as a non-roster player. Gallo, a two-time All-Star, struggled last season with the Nationals, batting .161 and striking out in 39.2% of his plate appearances, underpinning a trend of declining offensive performance since leaving the Texas Rangers. Although known for his defensive prowess, as evidenced by two Gold Gloves, Gallo's recent form raises questions. The White Sox's outfield and first base positions will see various players, including Gallo, competing for roles in spring training as they seek improved performance in 2023.
Gallo signed a minor league contract with the White Sox as a non-roster invitee, aiming to recover from a disappointing recent performance.
The two-time All-Star hit just .161 in 76 games last season, marking the third consecutive year of offensive struggles.
Chicago’s lineup may see Gallo, Vaughn, and others competing for positions as the team looks to enhance its performance.
Despite deteriorating offensive stats, Gallo won Gold Gloves consecutively in 2020-21, showing his potential defensively.
