The White Sox declined their $14 million club option on shortstop Tim Anderson for the 2024 season ($1 million buyout), likely ending a one-time face-of-the franchise batting champion’s career on the South Side.
Anderson, 30, a two-time All-Star and the major leagues batting leader with a .335 average in 2019, now becomes a free agent coming off his worst season. Anderson batted .245/.286/.296 with only one home run, 25 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 123 games last season, his eighth with the Sox.
