Player Notes

  • Enters free agent pool
    Haseley elected free agency Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Haseley was DFA'd by the White Sox on Tuesday to make room for Paul DeJong, and Haseley will now be able to choose where he spends the 2024 season. The 27-year-old outfielder spent most of last year with Triple-A Charlotte, slashing .264/.338/.386 across 313 plate appearances, and he should be able to secure at least a minor-league deal elsewhere.

  • White Sox sign OF Wynton Bernard to minors contract
    White Sox signed OF Wynton Bernard to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

    Advice: A longtime minor league journeyman, Bernard finally made it to the big leagues during the 2022 campaign, getting into 12 contests for the Rockies. The 33-year-old outfielder spent last year at the Triple-A level between Colorado and Toronto, posting an .817 IPS with 11 homers and 41 stolen bases across 571 plate appearances in 126 games.

  • Inks one-year deal with KC
    Hampson signed a one-year contract with the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: The deal is worth $2 million guaranteed, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. Hampson was non-tendered by the Marlins earlier this month despite posting a career-best .276/.349/.380 batting line over 98 games in 2023 while appearing defensively at shortstop, second base, third base and all three outfield spots. The 29-year-old should be a useful super-utility option for Kansas City in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:43 pm

  • Cody Bellinger takes N.L. Comeback POY honors
    Cody Bellinger was named as the Comeback Player of the Year in the National League for the 2023 season.

    Advice: The 28-year-old superstar bet on himself — taking a one-year deal with the Cubs after several disappointing seasons to end his Dodgers’ tenure — and that gamble paid off in a big way as he slashed an outstanding .307/.356/.525 with 26 long balls, 95 runs scored, 97 RBI and 20 stolen bases across 556 plate appearances in his 130 games. He’s expected to land an extremely lucrative multi-year contract this winter — with MLBTradeRumors.com projecting that he’ll wind up in the neighborhood of 12 years and $264 million.

  • Brewers sign OF Brewer Hicklen to minors contract
    Brewers signed OF Brewer Hicklen to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

    Advice: It’s fitting that Brewer wound up in Milwaukee at some point during his career. Hicklen got into six contests for the Royals during the 2022 campaign and split last year between the Royals and Phillies at the Triple-A level, slashing .236/.350/.455 with 10 homers and 21 steals across 286 plate appearances in 72 games. The 27-year-old represents valuable organizational outfield depth heading into the 2024 season. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:54 am
