The White Sox officially crossed another item off their offseason to-do list Wednesday.
It was reported at the end of last week that the White Sox were adding veteran catcher James McCann to the roster for the 2019 season, and the team announced the move Wednesday.
The White Sox had a hole to fill at catcher after the trade that sent Omar Narvaez to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for new closer Alex Colome. While there were rumors during the Winter Meetings that linked them to free-agent backstop Yasmani Grandal, the type of talent who would vault over Welington Castillo on the depth chart and be a long-term piece in the ongoing rebuilding project, general manager Rick Hahn said that adding a veteran backup was the most logical route to go, and that's what the White Sox get in McCann.
