Player Outlook
Martin Maldonado, simply put, is what he is. If you find your two-catcher team strong in average but weak on power, he is someone you can consider with your final pick or last dollar because he has hit double-digit homers in each of the past four full seasons. That is where the fantasy goodness ends because he has not seen the good side of the Mendoza Line since 2020 and it remains to be seen how much the pull-heavy hitter will miss aiming at the Crawford Boxes for homers. Maldonado plays more than his bat should because he is great at controlling the running game and blocking pitches while grading out as a poor framer. The best case scenario for Maldonado's power is that he signs with the southsiders in Chicago but your roster must have the batting average talent on it to insulate you from the damage 400+ at bats from Maldonado can do to your spot in that category.

  • White Sox's Martin Maldonado: Looking for first hit

    Rotowire
    Maldonado will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against Atlanta. After resting in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers, Maldonado will be back behind the dish for the series opener versus Atlanta while backup catcher Korey Lee retreats to the bench. While starting the first two games of the season, Maldonado went 0-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts in losses to the Tigers. Despite coming off a season in which he posted a lowly .606 OPS over 407 plate appearances for Houston, Maldonado should see the majority of the starts at catcher for the White Sox in 2024 thanks mainly to his reputation as a defender and game caller.

  • White Sox's Martin Maldonado: Inks deal with White Sox

    Rotowire
    Maldonado signed a one-year contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the deal is for $4 million and also includes a $4 million vesting option for 2025. With the White Sox searching for a solution behind the plate, they will bring in Maldonado to reunite with Korey Lee in Chicago's catcher room. The 37-year-old Maldonado will likely still have the upper hand over Lee in the battle for playing time, but after slashing .183/.260/.333 across the past three seasons, Maldonado's days as a viable fantasy option are seemingly over.

    Maldonado will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Even with rookie backstop Yainer Diaz breaking out to the tune of a .286/.310/.551 slash line, Maldonado remains Houston's primary catcher, though his off day Saturday means he only has a 5-4 advantage in starts over the last nine games.
