EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was non-tendered by the White Sox in November after he finished the 2024 campaign with a .233/.303/.357 slash line in 139 games. Sheets will provide some organizational depth at first base and in the corner outfield, with his clearest path to a roster spot likely being at designated hitter.
