Charlie Tilson’s WAR

-1.7 bWAR

I mean, that’s Charlie Tilson’s career WAR.

The White Sox started tipping their offseason dominoes on Friday by designating Tilson for assignment to move him off of the 40-man roster. As this was the second DFA of his career, Tilson had the option to become a free agent, and that’s what he did, ending his time with the White Sox.

Over the past two seasons, which have combined to provide Tilson a little more than half a season’s worth of action, he has been awful. (Tilson’s 162-game pace is a somewhat unimaginable -2.9 bWAR, so perhaps credit the White Sox for at least not giving him that long a rope in either 2018 or 2019.
