Former Phillies slugger and postseason hero could fill a crucial White Sox need

As the White Sox look to make additions to their 2026 roster, one position they’re likely to address is first base. Andrew Vaughn’s reign on the south side came to an end, and Tim Elko’s recent injury will knock him out until midseason in 2026. Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa successfully played first base at times in 2025, but neither are the ideal fit for the position. An external addition of another first base option seems like a likely move for Chris Getz. With Getz expressing hesitancy to sign free agents to long-term deals, the White Sox could look for a veteran stopgap to fill the need for 2026.
