Chicago White Sox Quietly Release 3-Year MLB Player During Guardians Series

The Chicago White Sox are currently taking on the Cleveland Guardians in a four-game weekend set, which includes a Fourth of July showdown on Saturday evening.

On Thursday evening, in a back-and-forth game, the White Sox unfortunately surrendered a walk-off home run to the Guardians, and are now tied with the Guardians for first place in the AL Central. Very quietly during the series, the Chicago White Sox released a three-year MLB player.

Three-year MLB veteran Dustin Harris is now a free agent after the White Sox granted him a release from the organization.

Dustin Harris has played in six games with the Chicago White Sox this year, and an additional 11 games with the Houston Astros.
MLBTR.com’s Anthony Franco wrote:  “Harris has spent the past couple months at Triple-A Charlotte after signing a minor league deal in May. It was his second stint in the Chicago organization. Harris signed an offseason non-roster contract with the Sox and was called up in early April. They lost him on waivers to the Astros but brought him back when Houston dropped him a few weeks later.”

Considering he’s officially an MLB free agent, all 30 teams can sign the 26-year-old outfielder if they please.
