Bobby Dalbec Signs Minor League Deal with Chicago White Sox

The former Red Sox infielder will join White Sox spring training with hopes of reviving his MLB career.

Bobby Dalbec, a 29-year-old corner infielder, has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox, including a non-roster invitation to spring training.
Dalbec spent five seasons with the Boston Red Sox but struggled to meet expectations, posting a career .222 batting average with 47 home runs in 331 games.
His best MLB season came in 2021 when he hit .240 with 25 home runs and 78 RBIs, but his performance declined in subsequent years, leading to frequent demotions to Triple-A.
In 2024, Dalbec batted just .133 with one home run in 37 MLB games, prompting him to elect free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Worcester.
The White Sox, coming off a record-setting 121-loss season, present a potential opportunity for Dalbec to reestablish himself in the majors, with incentives in his contract tied to performance milestones.
