The Cuban gardener Oscar Colás signed a Minor League contract with the Los Angeles after being released on Saturday by the Chicago White Sox.
Colás, awaiting a physical examination to validate his contract, is expected to report soon to Rocket City, Double-A, reported journalist Francys Romero
Colás, 26 years old, signed as an international star in 2022, has never met expectations in one of the current worst franchises in MLB.
However, Romero pointed out that "he was released yesterday by the Chicago White Sox and hours later he gets a new opportunity."
In the past season, Colás was called up to MLB for only 13 games, while other players like Dominic Fletcher and Corey Julks participated in over 60 games without reaching a .600 OPS, pointed out Romero, who criticized the White Sox's management regarding the Santiago native.
"Due to being part of the previous management (Rick Hahn and Marco Paddy), Colás did not fit into the plans of Chris Getz, the current GM, and this offseason the White Sox signed more than 5 outfielders in free agency, removed Colás from the 40-man roster, and sent him to Double-A, affecting his performance in all areas," he explained.
The gardener was affected by a discomfort in one of his wrists, which sidelined him for several days of play during Spring Training in 2025, complicating his position in the competition for a spot on the starting roster.
Who signed as one of the most promising Cuban prospects in MLB will have a new opportunity to unleash all their potential.
