Availability
The White Sox Re-Sign Lamonte Wade Jr. to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Wade was recently released after he didn't make the Opening Day roster. He returns after likely not finding another opportunity.
LaMonte Wade Jr. has signed a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox. The contract includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
Wade suffered through a disappointing 2025 season as he batted .167 with two home runs in 242 plate appearances between the Giants and Angels. However, the seven-year veteran hit 18 home runs in 2021 and 17 dingers in 2023 - both with the Giants. Wade is a career .236 hitter with 55 home runs - 54 against righthanders - in 560 career games. Playing time may be tough to come by for Wade, but he could be a solid lefthanded bat off the bench against right-handed pitching.
The Angels have released first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr.
Fantasy Impact
The Angels picked up Wade earlier in the season from the San Francisco Giants. The 31-year-old has limped to a .167 average with two homers in 242 trips to the plate between the two clubs this season.
LaMonte Wade Jr. went 3-for-4 with a home run on Sunday against the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
Wade didn't start the game, but entered for Nolan Schanuel in the bottom of the first inning. His sixth inning home run extended the Angels lead to 7-1.
The Angels are expected to activate LaMonte Wade Jr. in the coming days this week.
Fantasy Impact
The Angels recently acquired Wade in a trade after he was designated for assignment by the Giants. He will add depth in the infield for them.
