Free Agent Coach

The White Sox agreed to a deal catcher Martin Maldonado::

Maldonado, 37, replaces Yasmani Grandal behind the plate, as the latter left via free agency after spending four years with the White Sox. Maldonado also rejoins former teammate Korey Lee, who was traded from the Houston Astros to Chicago last summer.

Maldonado will be tasked with getting more from the staff while also tutoring Lee, as he’ll be given the chance to be the long-term starter after Maldonado moves on.

This is a good move for the White Sox. They get an on-field coach for a rebuilding year, and maybe Maldonado transitions to that roll after the season is over.
