When the Chicago White Sox announced the signing of James McCann to a one-year deal this past offseason, majority of fans were quite upset and vocal about it on social media. McCann was coming off a disappointing season with the Detroit Tigers in 2018 and not many saw him being any good in 2019.
Many White Sox fans were upset the franchise didn’t target other free agent catchers such as Yasmani Grandal or Martin Maldonado. Given the White Sox missed out on many more free agents this past offseason, the signing of McCann was never going to go over well with a certain portion of the fanbase.
