White Sox: The Time Has Come to DFA Yonder Alonso
White Sox should consider designating Yonder Alonso for assignment as the veteran first baseman hasn’t brought much value to the team this season.
Yonder Alonso. Yonder Alonso. Yeah.. that guy. He’s been absolutely terrible for the White Sox and shows zero signs of getting better. Perhaps he has a few more dingers in him, but he has no ability to go to the opposite field and bring up his horrendous batting average.
The White Sox have had absolute garbage lefty hitters at first-base/designated hitter before. They wasted all of 2011 playing Adam Dunn, giving him at-bats and waiting for him to “break out of it”, before realizing too late that “it” was all of 2011.
