GLENDALE, Ariz. — Elvis Andrus is officially back with the Chicago White Sox, who announced Monday the veteran infielder signed a one-year, $3 million deal.
“Everyone saw what he was capable of doing on the field over his stretch of time with us, which obviously was extremely productive,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. “What many people who weren’t close to the team may well have missed was the impact he had in our clubhouse. He is a tremendous role model for our young players. His work ethic, his professionalism, the way he plays the game are all great benefits to that club.
“Very happy to have him back. As was alluded to (Sunday) night, he is here with the expectation that he’ll very likely be the everyday second baseman. Obviously also provides us with a little bit of protection should we need him on the other side of the diamond. But initially the fit is very clearly at second base.”
