White Sox Claim Greg Jones, Cut Oscar Colas
3 days agoThe Chicago White Sox claimed infielder/outfielder Greg Jones off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte. In a corresponding move, the team designated outfielder Oscar Colas for assignment. The Rockies acquired Jones in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays last March, and the 27-year-old made his big-league debut in Colorado, going 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in just six games. He hit .269/.346/.460 with 16 homers and 46 steals in 406 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. Jones should have a better shot at sticking in the majors with the rebuilding White Sox and could be worth stashing in AL-only leagues for his speed. Colas, 26, hasn't developed as the White Sox envisioned he would and has hit .223/.271/.309 with five homers, 23 RBI and 81 strikeouts in 301 trips to the plate over 88 games in 2023 and 2024.
