In the initial days of the offseason, three cusp major leaguers seeing significant time over these past two 100-loss seasons elected free agency, presumably to ply their AAAA wares elsewhere.
On September 30, it was Danny Mendick and Touki Toussaint. Then on October 4, Zach Remillard took the plunge.
Collectively, the three players brought 1.9 WAR to the White Sox in their careers, in limited playing time.
Mendick has the longest tenure in Chicago (aside from a season away, with the Mets, in 2023), famously drafted in the 22nd Round in 2015 and working his way up to the majors by 2019.
