Miguel Vargas was traded from the Dodgers to the White Sox, receiving his 2024 World Series ring before the first pitch. His journey began with signing as an international free agent in 2017. Vargas expressed happiness about the ring, stating it represents a dream for players. He played 129 games for the Dodgers, where he struggled for consistent playing time. With the White Sox, Vargas has found more opportunities, showing improvement in 2025 despite not having eye-catching statistics.
"It feels good, you know? I feel a lot of players dream about something like this. I'm very happy to have one," said Vargas after receiving his championship ring.
Vargas played in 129 games for the Dodgers during his first three seasons in the Majors, including 30 in 2024 before being traded.
There wasn't a clear path to consistent playing time for Vargas while he was with the Dodgers, which didn't make him a fit for their short-term plans.
The bright side for Vargas is that playing time has not been a problem on the White Sox. The move wasn't an easy transition for him last season, but 2025 has been substantially better.
