The Chicago White Sox declined the 2025 club options for third baseman Yoan Moncada and catcher Max Stassi on Friday.

Moncada’s option was for $25 million and instead he will receive a $5 million buyout, while Stassi’s was for $7.5 million and he gets a $500,000 buyout. Both players will become unrestricted free agents.

Moncada, 29, was limited to 12 games in 2024 due to a left adductor strain. Stassi, 33, missed the entire season with a hip injury and last played in the majors with the Los Angeles Angels in 2022.

The moves come one day after the White Sox hired Will Venable as their new manager. Venable inherits a team that set a modern-day record for losses with a 41-121 campaign.

Moncada is a career .254 hitter with 93 home runs and 339 RBIs in 747 games with the Boston Red Sox (2016) and the White Sox.

Stassi is a lifetime .212 hitter with 41 home runs and 128 RBIs in 403 games with the Houston Astros (2013-19) and the Angels (2019-22).
