Marcus Stroman and Tim Anderson are on their way out of Chicago. Stroman opted out of the last year of his deal with the Cubs, while the White Sox declined Anderson's $14 million option for 2024.
Chicago Cubs and White Sox fans knew there would be plenty of new faces in 2024 and on Saturday learned that two former All-Stars are on their way out of town. Cubs starter Marcus Stroman opted out of the final season of his three-year, $71 million deal, according to multiple reports, while the Sox declined Tim Anderson’s option, making the shortstop a free agent.
Anderson was voted a starter for the 2022 All-Star Game. His season was cut short after undergoing surgery on his left hand in early August. He had a career-worst season in 2023, hitting .245 with one home run and 25 RBIs for a 101-loss team and seemingly was unhappy throughout the year. Still, the fact the Sox would let him go for nothing suggests they didn’t believe he would fit into the clubhouse culture they’re trying to build.
