The White Sox continue shuffling the deck, officially punching Seranthony Domínguez’s two-year, $20 million ticket to the South Side. Domínguez pockets a cool $1 million just for signing, plus a mutual option dangling for 2028. Domínguez, 31, brings a legit late-inning arm to a bullpen that’s been running on fumes, with a career strikeout rate north of 27% and plenty of high-leverage experience.
To clear roster space, Chicago released Bryan Ramos, designating him for assignment. Once viewed as a future
infield fixture, Ramos never got his feet under him in the bigs. His exit is just the latest sign that the front office is churning the 40-man roster ahead of camp.
And because Spring Training is nothing without a crowd, they also tossed non-roster invites to 22 hopefuls for major league camp. The Sox announced that seven of those are free agents signed to minor-league contracts: righthander Tyson Miller, lefthander Ryan Borucki, infielders Oliver Dunn, Tim Elko and LaMonte Wade Jr., and outfielders Dustin Harris and Jarred Kelenic.
Elko’s bat brings the thunder, knocking 26 bombs for Charlotte last year, but he looked lost in three big-league call-ups. Wade is a defensive Swiss Army knife who bounced between the Giants and Angels in 2025. Borucki and Miller? Veteran arms that add experienced depth to a pitching staff that will be closely monitored early in camp.
The club also invited 15 additional players from the farm to big league camp, including a pile of righties in Mason Adams, Adisyn Coffey, Tyler Davis, Zach Franklin and Ben Peoples, as well as a handful of southpaws with Shane Murphy, Noah Schultz, Tyler Schweitzer and Hagen Smith. Behind the dish is Michael Turner, while infielders Sam Antonacci, William Bergolla Jr. and Jacob Gonzalez will handle the dirt. Outfielders Dru Baker and Braden Montgomery round out the list.
Schultz and Smith sit at the top of the pitching list, racking up over 180 strikeouts between Double- and Triple-A last year. Montgomery keeps climbing, stacking on-base numbers at every stop. All three prospects Montgomery (No. 36), Schultz (No. 49), Smith (No. 72) landed on MLB.com’s Top 100 for 2026. The Sox aren’t just filling out the roster with cannon fodder. There’s real competition in this mix.
Pitchers and catchers get the ball rolling on February 10, with the full squad piling in five days later on February 15. The first game is against the Chicago Cubs on February 20.
