Goodwin last appeared in the majors during the 2021 season when he got into 71 games for the White Sox. He played in the independent Mexican League and also in Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League last year.

Goodwin has opted for free agency, rather than accept an outright minor-league assignment, after being removed from the White Sox' 40-man roster. The 31-year-old outfielder hit .221/.319/.374 with 33 runs scored, eight home ruins, 29 RBI and one stolen base across 271 plate appearances last season.

Goodwin is off the White Sox' 40-man roster after being left off the team's NLDS roster after hitting .221/.319/.374 with 33 runs scored, eight home ruins, 29 RBI and one stolen base across 271 plate appearances last season. The 31-year-old outfielder will likely elect free agency and should be able to latch on somewhere as extra position player depth this offseason.

The move is retroactive to September 24, but Goodwin will miss the rest of the regular season. The 30-year-old posted a .221/.319/.374 slash line this season over 235 at-bats with eight home runs and 29 RBI.
