The White Sox have openings in the outfield, and slugging prospect Caleb Bonemer is preparing to fill one

Chicago White Sox prospect Caleb Bonemer is transitioning to the outfield in the Arizona Fall League to accelerate his path to the majors. The 21-year-old hit 39 home runs across 143 games between High-A, Double-A, and fall ball this year. With potential vacancies in the White Sox outfield, team officials view Bonemer's versatility as a way to speed up his promotion.

White Sox farm director Paul Janish praised Bonemer's defensive transition, noting encouraging reads and movement despite his previous infield struggles. With impending free agents like Tommy Pham and Randal Grichuk, and general manager Chris Getz seeking outfield help, evaluators project Bonemer could potentially compete for corner outfield playing time by the 2027 season.
