Report: Elvis Andrus to Sign White Sox Contract After Being Released by Athletics

Free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus, who cleared waivers after being released by the Oakland Athletics, is signing with the Chicago White Sox and will join the team in Cleveland on Friday.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the news on Andrus, who turns 34 years old on Aug. 26. The 14-year MLB veteran, who spent his first 12 years with the Texas Rangers before joining Oakland, is hitting .237 (.673 OPS) with eight home runs and 30 RBI this season.

Andrus' playing time decreased in August, and he voiced his frustrations about no longer being an everyday player.
