Yoan Moncada, who spent most of the 2024 season on the injured list, will become a free agent after failing to live up to his massive contract with the Chiacgo White Sox.
As a new era of Chicago White Sox baseball gets underway, the front office has opted to leave one of their faces of the franchise in the rear-view mirror.reported Thursday afternoon. Moncada, who is now due a $5 million buyout, will now become a free agent and can sign with another team as soon as Nov. 4.

Moncada soon became a consensus top-five prospect in baseball. Since signing his extension, Moncada has averaged 17 home runs, 71 RBI and a 2.6 WAR, all whiel batting .244 with a .721 OPS.
