3 months agoAccording to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, infielder Josh Rojas has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago White Sox. Before being non-tendered earlier this offseason by the Mariners, Rojas hit .225 with a .286 wOBA and 91 wRC+. He hit eight home runs and finished with 31 RBI and 48 runs scored while adding 10 stolen bases. He has double-digit stolen bases in each of the last three seasons and could be a regular contributor this season for Chicago, who has plenty of question marks in the infield. The 30-year-old lefty has been very versatile, playing mostly 2B and 3B with a little SS mixed in as well. He also played a little in a corner outfield spot, setting him up as a potential utility option for Chicago this season. The fact that he's a lefty should keep him on the strong side of platoons, and he actually had a 104 wRC+ against righties last season. In 2023, Rojas was a key piece of the trade that sent closer Paul Sewald to Arizona back, but he struggled during his time in Seattle. This one-year, "prove it" deal will give him a chance to hit the market as a free agent again next year or possibly be moved to a contender at the Trade Deadline if he has a good start to the year. If he earns an everyday role out of Spring Training, he has enough upside to be an end-of-draft option in AL-only leagues.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoChicago White Sox infielder Josh Rojas (toe) is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, according to manager Will Venable. MLB.com's Scott Merkin writes that it sounds like it's a pain-tolerance situation right now, and Rojas is dealing with some pain. The 30-year-old veteran suffered the injury in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Colorado Rockies. It sounds like he is going to try and play through the injury, so Rojas currently isn't being ruled out for Opening Day next Thursday. Before the injury, Rojas was the favorite to start at second base for the Pale Hose, but if he needs to start the year on the injured list, it could be some combination of prospect Chase Meidroth, Brooks Baldwin or Lenyn Sosa seeing playing time at second. Rojas' glove is better than his bat. He's a below-average hitter and runner, making him only useful for his versatility in AL-only leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoChicago White Sox infielder Josh Rojas (toe) exited Saturday's spring training contest early due to toe soreness. The team will likely provide an update on his status after he goes through further testing. Rojas is expected to be their everyday second baseman at the start of the regular season. Earlier in the offseason, the White Sox signed Rojas to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. Last season, the 30-year-old appeared in 143 contests for the Seattle Mariners. Across this stint, Rojas posted a .225/.304/.336 slash line with 19 doubles and eight long balls. He swiped 10 bags and drew walks at a 9.7 percent rate. While he generated a low .293 xwOBA, he placed in the 94th percentile. With an everyday spot in the White Sox's lineup, Rojas will carry value in deeper AL-only formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoAccording to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Rojas is projected to the be their Opening Day second baseman. Even though Rojas has spent most of his MLB career at the hot corner, he does have experience at the keystone. The White Sox signed Rojas to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million during the offseason after being non-tendered by Seattle. Last season, the 30-year-old posted a .225/.304/.336 slash line with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases. He generated a modest .223 xBA but generated a strong 22.0 percent chase rate. If Rojas were to struggle at second base, Lenyn Sosa would likely replace him. Even though he carries little offensive upside, Rojas is a solid bench option in deeper AL-only formats, as he should have a role in the everyday lineup.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

3 months agoThe Chicago Cubs are among the teams showing serious interest in free-agent infielder Josh Rojas, according to a source. Rojas had a 2.2 bWAR in 142 games with the Seattle Mariners in 2024 and started 106 games at third base. He has mostly started at second and third base in his professional career but also has the ability to play shortstop and both corner outfield spots, which would give the Cubbies plenty of defensive versatility. The 30-year-old hit the open market this offseason when the Mariners non-tendered him in November. Rojas slashed only .225/.304/.336 with eight home runs, 31 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 474 plate appearances for the M's and is more known for his defensive prowess and versatility than he is for his bat. His lack of speed and power will likely limit him to a platoon role, at best, if he were to land in Chicago for the 2025 season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
