White Sox Sign Veteran Catcher Martin Maldonado to One-Year Deal

The 37-year-old former Astros player, known for his defensive skills, is expected to bring leadership to the struggling White Sox.

Veteran catcher Martin Maldonado has agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with the Chicago White Sox, with a $4 million vesting option for 2025.
Maldonado, 37, spent the last five seasons with the Houston Astros, winning a World Series in 2022.
Known for his defensive skills and handling of pitching staffs, Maldonado hit .191 with 15 home runs and 36 RBIs over 116 games last season for the Astros.
Maldonado is expected to split playing time with Korey Lee, replacing Yasmani Grandal who left the White Sox via free agency.
The White Sox, who lost 102 games last season, hope Maldonado's leadership and experience will help improve their performance.
