White Sox Designate Zach Remillard For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | January 5, 2024 at 4:20pm CDT

The White Sox officially announced their signing of catcher Martín Maldonado, which was reported last month. Utility player Zach Remillard has been designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

Chicago took Remillard in the tenth round of the 2016 draft out of Coastal Carolina. The right-handed hitting infielder played seven-plus seasons in the minors, including three years at the Triple-A level. The Sox selected his contract for the first time in the middle of June. Remillard appeared in 54 big league games, hitting .252/.295/.320 with one home run over his first 160 plate appearances.

Most of his defensive action came at second base, where he logged 260 2/3 innings. Remillard also played shortstop, third base and both corner outfield spots. That defensive flexibility has been his calling card throughout his minor league career. Remillard has played mostly shortstop and third base in the minors but has a fair bit of experience at the keystone and the outfield grass.

The White Sox have a week to trade Remillard or outright him to the minors. He doesn’t have three years of MLB service or a previous career outright, so he would not have the ability to elect free agency if he clears waivers.

    Out of options. This is his 30 year old season. He was the only player in uniform that hustled. Should have hired an outside GM and also fired Grifol. He is terrible – has zero control of the players.

    Terrible decision. Yeah, he is 30 but Remillard really made some key plays and got key hits when it mattered.. I guess that is why they are designating him for assignment as being clutch apparently is not the ‘White Sox way’.

      When did it ever “matter?” By the time he came up in June, the team was long past dead.

        It mattered because it showed he cared and was trying. While you may not think it mattered, it sure mattered to him and to the overall aspect of playing the game right.

    Remillard plays the game the right way. Good luck to him.

    Fine to move Remy off the 40-man, his upside is limited. I think Getz & Grifol are adding a defense first vet for each position group so that their ST invitees get a schooling as to what’s expected on a daily basis lead by Maldy, DeJong, Lopez, Phillips, and even Hill & Flexen in the bullpen. SOX total lack of fundamentals hurts any player called up to the majors, which Getz is trying to fix across each player clique.

    They’ll lose around 100 games regardless, but it might help instill the right ethic for Quero & Lee; Montegomery, Shewmake & Ramos; Colas, Veras & Tatum; Leisure and all their young arms. If that can be accomplished for this prospect group, it will have been worth it, cause their previous group of prospects could never get with valuing D & professionalism…not including Luis Robert.

      I think as long as the Sox still have Jimenez and Moncada on this roster half-assing it they will always need to worry about drive and motivation in the major league roster. I’m glad Robert figured it out, as it was looking really bad when earlier in the season reportedly did not know the bench coaches name and had made some more mental blunders, but then he turned it around. I’m not sure who got through to him, if it was Hahn, Grifol (if so the one thing he did right in this locker room) or Montoya (the aforementioned bench coach), but I think someone made him realize the importance of ‘drive’ and striving to get better and not just resting on your talent.
      As for the other two I hope someone threw down the gauntlet and woke them up but we will see.
