White Sox: Tim Anderson Not Concerned With His Spot At Shortstop
White Sox current shortstop not willing to relinquish his spot as a starter in the event his team can sign another free agent infielder.
Current White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is well aware of his team’s efforts to sign Manny Machado this offseason. Machado is coming off a season where he primarily played shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers.
With Machado’s potential signing by the Sox looming, Anderson expressed his thoughts on potentially playing another position other than shortstop. Machado wasn’t a better defender at shortstop last season than when he primarily played third base in 2017. And Anderson actually played much better defensively as a shortstop in 2018.
