The White Sox have sent outfielders  and  through outright waivers, the team announced. Theyre each eligible to elect free agency, although the club didnt indicate if either player has yet done so. Both players would have qualified for arbitration and seemed easy non-tender decisions.  It is very likely that both will head back to the open market. Thompson, a former Sox draftee, rejoined the team midseason in the  /  deal with the Dodgers. He was on the  David Robertson Jersey injured list at the time. Chicago reinstated Thompson on August 3. He hit .171/.261/.232 with a ma sive 43.5% strikeout rate in 92 plate appearances.  Between the two clubs, he finished the year with a .163/.285/.294 showing while punching out 43% of the time. Thompson had been a key contributor for Los Angeles in the second half of 2022. Hed connected on 13 homers with a .268/.364/.537 slash in 74 games, albeit with a 36% strikeout rate.  Frazier signed a minor league deal with Chicago at the end of April. The club selected him onto the MLB roster a month later. The former #5 overall pick neverthele s spent much of the season on optional a signment to Triple-A Charlotte. He hit .231/.363/.442 with a 26.6% strikeout rate at the top minor league level. Frazier got into 33 MLB games this year, running a .197/.303/.242 slash.  Roansy Contreras Jersey
