Randal Grichuk has agreed to a Major League deal with the Chicago White Sox, according to reports, only 72 hours after being designated for assignment by the New York Yankees.
The move adds a veteran bat to Chicago's outfield mix. Grichuk, a 12-year MLB veteran, was released by the Yankees as they reshuffled their roster heading into the season.
Terms of the agreement were not immediately disclosed. The White Sox will need to make corresponding roster moves to accommodate the signing.
His arrival provides depth and experience for a Chicago club looking to improve after a last-place finish in 2024. The Yankees, meanwhile, continue to fine-tune their outfield alignment.
Some analysts question whether Grichuk's declining production at the plate will significantly boost the White Sox's offense.
