The Chicago White Sox are facing a challenging start to the season with key outfielders Andrew Benintendi and Austin Slater on the injured list. As they look to add depth to their roster, they have signed Travis Jankowski, a former World Series Champion with the Texas Rangers, to a minor-league contract. Jankowski offers experience and potential utility as a bench player, especially with the opportunity to fill in during Benintendi's absence. However, his recent performance has been subpar, raising questions about his effectiveness this season.
“Jankowski, a 33-year-old from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, signed a minor-league deal with the Sox's crosstown rivals, the Chicago Cubs, but opted out after being left off the roster for when they travel to Japan to kick off the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers.”
“Signing Jankowski was a smart decision for GM Chris Getz to make, given the White Sox injury situation. Jankowski would be an effective bat off the bench for the White Sox and be a nice fill-in in leftfield until Benintendi returns.”
