The Chicago White Sox have signed veteran outfielder Austin Slater to a one-year contract worth $1.75 million, which includes potential performance bonuses totaling $500,000. Slater, who has played for multiple teams, struggled last season but has a solid career batting average.

This move comes after a dismal season for the White Sox, who recorded a historic 41-121 record. In response, they appointed Will Venable as their new manager following a series of leadership changes.
