White Sox Pass on Adding Jason Castro, Rival Twins Take Advantage

The Chicago White Sox failed to add to a position of need this offseason. Free agent catcher Jason Castro signed a 3-year $24.5 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. The Sox needed a catcher like Castro because of his framing capabilities.

However, the Sox are reportedly going to rebuild and didn’t add the much needed catcher to its team. What’s frustrating is the team allowed a division rival to sign the catcher. Castro isn’t the best offensive catcher as he hit .210 last season in 113 games with the Houston Astros.
