The Chicago White Sox have signed outfielder Travis Jankowski to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, providing him a solid opportunity to make the Opening Day roster. With key outfielders like Andrew Benintendi out with injury, Jankowski's presence adds depth to the lineup. Known for a memorable home run catch against the Sox, Jankowski reflects on his previous encounter with Andrew Vaughn. The team's manager, Will Venable, values players' experiences and the equilibrium he brings to the team during fluctuating performance periods.
I apologized to Vaughnie the next day on first base. And then I gave him a hug when I came in here and said, 'I'm sorry, man.' I told him if he finishes with 399 career homers, I'm going to have to buy him a car or something. I still feel bad about that. But I had to do it.
He's not far removed from the game. He understands the struggles of it, right? He knows the guys are going to go through it. As a team, we are going to go through it.
