White Sox Bolster Outfield with Kevin Pillar on Minor League Deal
The addition of veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar aims to strengthen the White Sox's defensive lineup following a challenging 61-101 season.
- Kevin Pillar, formerly with the Atlanta Braves, has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox, potentially earning $3 million if he makes the major league roster.
- The signing addresses the White Sox's need for more options in right field, complementing their efforts to improve defensively.
- Pillar's experience includes a .257/.294/.409 career batting average and notable defensive achievements, despite a decline in defensive metrics since 2016.
- White Sox fans express skepticism over recent signings, criticizing General Manager Chris Getz for not making significant improvements to the roster.
- The White Sox have only four outfielders on their 40-man roster, with Pillar's addition expected to provide more depth and flexibility.
