The 29-year-old split his 2024 season between the Mariners’ and White Sox’ organizations where he slashed a combined .257/.333/.444 with 16 homers, 56 RBI and a 99/36 K/BB ratio over 408 plate appearances at the Triple-A level. He’ll add more quality depth to an organization that is brimming with it.

Chavis opted out of his minor league contract with the Mariners over the weekend and it didn’t take him long to find new work. If trying to find a landing spot with an immediate path to the big leagues, the White Sox obviously make sense. The 28-year-old had been killing it at Triple-A Tacoma — slashing .290/.367/.485 with seven homers and 29 RBI in his 191 plate appearances.

The 28-year-old infielder exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with the Mariners and is now free to explore the open market. He was swinging a hot bat at Triple-A Tacoma, slashing .290/.367/.485 with seven homers and 29 RBI in 191 plate appearances.

Chavis was underwhelming in 48 games for the Nationals in 2023, posting a .242/.281/.341 slash line with 2 home runs, one steal, and a 34.4 percent strikeout rate. He has played first base, second base, third base and left field in the last two years, so he could provide defensive versatility as organizational depth for Seattle.
