White Sox Decline Options on Moncada and Stassi Amid Injury Woes

The Chicago White Sox have opted not to renew contracts for Yoán Moncada and Max Stassi following significant injury setbacks.

Yoán Moncada, plagued by injuries, played only 12 games in the 2024 season due to a left adductor strain.
The White Sox acquired Moncada in 2016 as part of a trade with Boston, but his performance has been inconsistent due to frequent injuries.
Moncada will receive a $5 million buyout, concluding his $70 million, five-year contract with the team.
Catcher Max Stassi, who also faced injury challenges, will get a $500,000 buyout after undergoing season-ending hip surgery.
These roster moves reduce the White Sox's 40-man roster to 37 players as they look to rebuild after a record-setting loss season.
