White Sox Interested in Griffin Canning
The Chicago White Sox are in the market for another pitcher on a one-year deal, and they expressed interest in free-agent right-hander Griffin Canning (Achilles) in late December, league sources told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon. Shane Smith, Davis Martin, and Sean Burke are already locked into the team's starting rotation for next season. The Pale Hose have added lefties Sean Newcomb and Anthony Kay this offseason, but Canning would give them another starting option. The 29-year-old Canning was pitching well for the New York Mets in 2025 before rupturing his left Achilles tendon in late June. He had a 3.77 ERA (4.04 FIP) in 76 1/3 innings over 16 starts. Before his injury, Canning was using his cutter and slider more often while keeping the ball in the yard. His Achilles injury will likely keep him from starting the season on time, which means he'll be off the draft radar in standard-sized leagues.
