The Deal
Hays, 29, has been a solid corner outfielder when healthy. He brings a reliable bat and above-average defense. The White Sox needed outfield depth and a right-handed option; Hays fits on a short-term deal and can compete for everyday at-bats.
AthX Impact
Hays' AthX value depends on his role and health. If he secures regular playing time in Chicago, his share price could respond to his performance. Track his spring training usage and early-season lineup spot.
