White Sox Release Brandon Guyer

By Steve Adams | March 22, 2019 at 10:57am CDT

The White Sox announced Friday that they have released outfielder Brandon Guyer. He’d been in camp on a minor league contract. The 33-year-old went 5-for-23 with a homer and a pair of walks (against eight strikeouts) in his brief time with the club this spring.

Guyer struggled in 2017-18 with the Indians, hitting at a .220/.312/.351 clip with nine homers in 413 plate appearances. He batted a combined .266/.356/.403 between Tampa Bay and Cleveland from 2014-16, however, and he’s generally been a solid platoon bat over the life of his MLB tenure. In 792 career plate appearances against lefties, Guyer has a .274/.376/.449 batting line. He’s more of an on-base threat than a power threat, in part because of the astonishing rate at which he’s hit by pitches.

Chicago has one corner-outfield slot earmarked for Eloy Jimenez, while playing time elsewhere in the outfield will be divided up between Jon Jay, Adam Engel, Leury Garcia and Daniel Palka. Guyer will have the opportunity to search for a bench role with another club — the Braves are reportedly considering alternatives to Adam Duvall — though the fact that he has just 356 career innings in center field don’t help his cause.

    A fifth OFer in a world where you can’t carry 5 OFs any more; Guyer (not a bad player IMHO) is a couple of years early.

    Oh ya, he’s toast. I meant that he’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    The Sox once featured an “all Garcia” starting OF.

    Need to keep Leury in the lineup.

    Time for Cleveland to sign him back. He still hits LHP well. He just shouldn’t get any ABs vs RHPs.

    What helps Nicky Delmonico get a job on the roster is he can play 4 positions in the field. Me personally I’m a big fan of his from his time in Birmingham.
