Free agent outfielder Michael A. Taylor has signed a one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox worth $1.95 million, with added performance incentives. Taylor, who previously played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, had a challenging 2023 season, finishing with a .193 batting average in 113 games. Originally gaining recognition with the Washington Nationals, where he contributed to their 2019 World Series victory, Taylor has a diverse 11-season Major League Baseball career, marked by a commendable 5.8 WAR over his two years with the Kansas City Royals and a Gold Glove in 2021. The White Sox are enhancing their outfield with this acquisition and two others this offseason.
Taylor's contract with the Chicago White Sox is valued at $1.95 million for one season, with potential performance bonuses.
Across his 11-year MLB career, Taylor has a batting average of .235 and has accumulated a 12.2 WAR in over 1,000 games.
Despite a lackluster season with the Pirates, Taylor's earlier performances, including a strong postseason with the Nationals, showcase his potential.
The White Sox have made strategic moves this offseason, signing three outfielders including Taylor, indicating a focus on strengthening their roster.
