Following a disappointing 121-loss season in 2024, the Chicago White Sox focused on strengthening their roster, particularly in right field. While young prospect Braden Montgomery offers future potential, the Sox opted for immediate solutions by signing veterans Austin Slater and Mike Tauchman. Both bring experience, with Tauchman in particular having a notable track record due to his solid offensive skills and defensive capabilities. This creates a competitive atmosphere, and despite injury challenges, Tauchman has shown positive contributions to the team.
Tauchman was an above-average offensive player in each of his last two seasons. He had an OPS+ of 106 in 217 games with the Cubs.
Both veterans have been successful when not battling injuries this season. Tauchman specifically has had a really positive impact on and off the field.
