Ex-Mets top prospect is trying to save his career with lowly White Sox
Kelenic signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox after a 2025 season marked by regression and free agency, aiming to revive his MLB career.
- On Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN reported that Jarred Kelenic will join the Chicago White Sox as a non-roster invite, with Mark Feinsand of MLB.com confirming a minor-league deal and spring training invitation.
- After regressing in 2025, Jarred Kelenic bounced between the Atlanta Braves and Triple-A Gwinnett, was designated for assignment, then elected free agency instead of accepting a minor league assignment.
- Once a top prospect, Jarred Kelenic was drafted sixth overall by the New York Mets in the 2018 MLB Draft and traded to the Seattle Mariners in a blockbuster involving Robinson Cano and Edwin Díaz; he has played 407 MLB games with a.211/.282/.376 slash line.
- The White Sox have an outfield opening as Andrew Benintendi likely moves to designated hitter and right field is open after non-tendering Mike Tauchman, while Chicago tests Kelenic under a revamped coaching staff.
- Per FanGraphs, Jarred Kelenic's best big-league season came in 2023, and at age 26, he faces a narrowing window to fulfill his early potential.
