The White Sox have agreed to terms on a minor league contract with left-handed pitcher Chase Watkins.

He's a former ninth-round pick by the Chicago Cubs and will begin the 2026 season in Double-A Birmingham.

2.65 ERA, 71.1 innings, three minor league levels in 2025. 3.37 ERA in pro career. 26 years old.

Some more left-handed pitching depth at the upper levels of the minor leagues, and if things go how they're currently trending, we might need him at some point this season.
