Hays' White Sox Exit Explained | Chicago White Sox News
Description
The Chicago White Sox cut ties with Austin Hays after just 12 games, as his stint fizzled due to poor hitting, shaky defense, and nagging injuries — including a hamstring strain that sidelined him for months. Once seen as a solid placeholder for the outfield, Hays struggled mightily, even in Triple-A, and was quickly deemed expendable as younger prospects like Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery stepped up. With his $6M contract still on the books, his chances of being claimed are slim, but if he clears waivers, he could offer a right-handed bat to a team needing depth — assuming he can stay healthy. The Sox, meanwhile, are thriving without him.
