Chavis signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports. Chavis inked an MiLB deal with the Mariners during the offseason and spent the first several months of the year with Triple-A Tacoma, slashing .290/.366/.485 with 29 RBI across 191 plate appearances. He opted out of his deal with Seattle on June 1 and will now look to carve out a role for himself with the White Sox. The 28-year-old has experience covering every base as well as in left field, and he could join the big-league club at some point if his bat remains hot at Triple-A Charlotte.

The Mariners reassigned Chavis to minor-league camp Saturday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. Chavis signed with the Mariners in January as a non-roster invitee, but he will end up missing the cut after going 2-for-18 across eight games with two RBI and eight strikeouts. Chavis owns a .650 OPS since 2021 and will head to the minors looking to fight his way back onto the major-league bench.

Chavis signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Thursday and received an invitation to big-league spring training, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. Chavis elected free agency earlier in the offseason after slashing .242/.281/.341 across 96 plate appearances with Washington last year. He'll compete for a spot on Seattle's bench during spring training.

Chavis cleared outright assignment waivers Wednesday and elected to become a free agent, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Chavis compiled a .242/.281/.341 slash line with five RBI across 96 plate appearances in 2023, and he'll now look to latch on with another organization. With a .650 OPS since 2021, Chavis will likely serve in a bench role with his new team.

Chavis went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over the A's. Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Chavis put together his first multi-hit performance since May 28. The 28-year-old has seen a slight uptick in playing time following Luis Garcia's demotion, appearing in four games so far in August and going 4-for-12 with a walk and a run, but Chavis now sits behind jake Alu on the depth chart and isn't likely to move into a starting role down the stretch.
