"Kevin Pillar's Swift Re-Signing with White Sox After Release"

Former Red Sox player Kevin Pillar was cut by the Chicago White Sox due to his unique status as an "Article XX(B) free agent," which allows veteran MLB players signed to minor-league deals to opt out before Opening Day. Pillar, who was surprised by the move, ultimately re-signed with the White Sox two days later after discussions with the team's general manager. This will be Pillar's eighth team during his 12-year MLB career.

Former MLB Outfielder Kole Calhoun Becomes Free Agent Again

Kole Calhoun has opted out of his minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners, becoming a free agent. The Mariners did not plan to include him on their active roster, and his lackluster performance in Cactus League action did not help his case. Calhoun's struggles over the past couple of years have been attributed to injuries and declining production, leading to his decline in playing time with the Texas Rangers in 2022. He will now join the pool of free agents and opt-out players in search of a new team.
