The Chicago White Sox made an exciting move by signing free agent third baseman Nick Senzel. Senzel, 29, previously played for the Washington Nationals before being designated for assignment and later released. In his time with the Nationals this year, Senzel appeared in 64 games and had a batting average of .209 with seven home runs and 18 RBIs. Throughout his career with the Cincinnati Reds and Nationals, Senzel has played a total of 441 games with a .235 batting average, hitting 40 home runs and 143 RBIs.
In addition to signing Senzel, the White Sox also made other roster moves. They designated Danny Mendick for assignment, who was batting .197 in 47 games this season with three home runs and eight RBIs. Another third baseman, Lenyn Sosa, was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte after hitting .237 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 52 big-league games in 2024.
Furthermore, catcher Martin Maldonado was also designated for assignment by the White Sox. Maldonado had a tough season, batting only .119 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 48 games. The team is looking to make strategic changes to improve their roster and performance on the field.
The addition of Senzel to the White Sox roster brings depth and experience to the team. His versatility and skills as a third baseman will be valuable assets as the team continues to compete in the league. The White Sox are hopeful that these roster moves will strengthen their lineup and contribute to their success in the upcoming games.
