The Chicago White Sox have opted for a conservative approach in free agency after a disastrous 2024 season, avoiding significant spending despite a critical need for improvement. The team's decision to re-sign pitcher Mike Clevinger, who has a troubled history including domestic violence allegations and previous issues in the clubhouse, has come under scrutiny. Clevinger's past challenges and a less-than-stellar injury record have left many questioning the logic behind his continued presence in the roster, particularly as the team aims to recover from their 121-loss season.
The Chicago White Sox did not spend a lot of money in free agency to upgrade a roster that lost 121 games in 2024.
Yet, the White Sox for the second straight offseason are bringing back the worst of them all as they have signed Mike Clevinger.
Clevinger was a clubhouse cancer in Cleveland, with accusations of domestic violence and failing to inform the Sox of his MLB investigation.
He had a statistically strong season in 2023, but no other team wanted to pay his remaining salary after he was waived.
