White socks infielder Nick Marton The waiver was cleared and sent directly to Triple-A Charlotte. Marton was assigned as a mission on the weekend. He has the right to reject the task and elect a free agent, although it is not clear whether he will exercise his rights. Scott Merkin of MLB.com is one of the news that will be fully conveyed today.
Maton, 28, signed a minor league contract with Sox during the offseason. He cracked the club's opening day squad and participated in 23 games. In his 61-dish appearance, he walked at a strong 14.8% pace but also hit it with a 29.5% cut. He hit .173/.295/.327 with 84 WRC+. He may have performed better as he averaged 0.219 hits in the game, but Sox decided to keep moving forward.
He plays first base, second base and left field, but mainly in designated hitter slots. This seems to be a bet on his minor league work. Although he only hit .202/.302/.354 in his major league career, he cut .269/.382/.466 at the Farm in 2023 and 2024 with 124 WRC+. Then, he performed well on Sox this year, hitting .289/.357/.632. Unfortunately, it didn't translate to the regular season, thus switching the club from DH live to production.
Maton is not feasible, so when the club catches him, he must completely remove him from the 40-man roster Gage Workers From DFA Limbo. As a player who is directly engaged in his career, he can head to the open market and look for opportunities elsewhere if he chooses.
If he sticks with Sox, it's possible to open the bat as the season rolls. They are 7-21 and are definitely deadline sellers. Players like it Andrew Benintendi,,,,, Louis Robert,,,,, Andrew Vaughn If others perform well, they may trade this summer. This may open a way for the road Maton returns, although Sox can also give like Kyle Teel or Colson Montgomery.
