Kelenic Elects Free Agency After White Sox DFA
The 26-year-old outfielder cleared waivers and chose free agency over an outright assignment to the minors.
The White Sox designated Jarred Kelenic for assignment as a corresponding move to select Rikuu Nishida. Kelenic, who signed a minor league deal in the offseason, posted a .202/.346/.464 slash line with six home runs in 26 Triple-A games before a brief MLB stint. He cleared waivers and elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. Kelenic is now free to sign with any organization.
