Gavin Sheets, a former top prospect for the White Sox, will not be tendered a contract, dropping Chicago's roster count to 38, as his performance declined sharply.
Once a promising player, Sheets struggled offensively over the last three years, posting a disappointing .227/.291/.368 line and making him 16% worse than league average.
The White Sox's decision stems from Sheets' poor production and strong competition at first base, leading to his limited effectiveness as an outfielder.
After reaching three years of service time in 2024, Sheets qualified for arbitration, but the Sox are unwilling to pay a projected salary of $2.6 million given his performance.
