The Chicago White Sox are signing outfielder Mike Tauchman, who spent the last two seasons with the Cubs

DALLAS — Mike Tauchman is moving from the North Side to the South Side after agreeing to a major league contract with the Chicago White Sox on Monday, a source confirmed to the Tribune.

Tauchman slashed .248/.357/.366 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs in 109 games in 2024 for the Chicago Cubs. That included a walk-off home run in the top of the ninth inning that gave the Cubs a 7-6 win over the Sox at Wrigley Field on June 5.

The Cubs de-tendered the Palatinate native in November, making him a free agent.

The 34-year-old has a .241/.344/.374 slash line with 60 doubles, 32 home runs and 155 RBIs in 474 career games during seven major league seasons with the Colorado Rockies (2017-18), New York Yankees (2019-21), San Francisco Giants (2021) and Cubs (2023-24). He spent 2022 in the Korea Baseball Organization.

Scott Merkin of MLB.com first reported the move on Monday. The terms of the contract are unknown.

Tauchman is the second outfielder the Sox have signed to an MLB contract this offseason. He joins Austin Slater, who agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract, announced on November 20th.

The team’s starting outfield in 2024 consisted of Andrew Benintendi in left field, Luis Robert Jr. in center and Dominic Fletcher in right field. Robert has been mentioned in trade speculation. Slater, Zach DeLoach, Corey Julks and Oscar Colás are also currently on the 40-man roster.
