Matt Skole

Matt Skole was never an everyday player on the 2019 White Sox but he certainly isn’t going to be one going forward. The White Sox put Skole in the group of four players going to Charlotte for the purpose of becoming an AAA free agent and his time with the team has likely come to an end. He might be able to find some playing time in 2020 but the 30-year-old certainly would need to try and do so with another organization.

In 2019 he had a -0.6 WAR which is not good. They are going to be replacing him with a better player pretty much no matter who they put in. He had a .208 batting average and had 6 RBIs on 15 hits and no home runs. It was a tough season for him in the Majors but there is a reason to believe that his career might be able to continue his career playing professional baseball somewhere in 2020.

Skole can bring his veteran leadership to another organization trying to develop a good farm system but the White Sox are more than ready to move on. It is going to be a season with winning expectations for the Sox and Skole wouldn’t really be able to help them out there.
