Leury García, the longest-tenured active White Sox player, will stay on the South Side after signing a three-year contract, word leaked out on Tuesday. Financial terms are not yet known, but $16 million total is the rumored cost over the three seasons.
García played all over the field for the South Siders in 2021. Here’s the breakdown:
- 277 2⁄3 innings at second base
- 235 innings in right field
- 164 1⁄3 innings in center field
- 156 1⁄3 innings at shortstop
- 110 2⁄3 innings in left field
- 74 innings at third baseman
García’s flexibility was valuable for the White Sox, who had many position players who suffered long-term injuries in 2021.
