The White Sox signed Maton to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes and invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports. Maton, who turns 28 in February, got a cup of coffee with the Orioles in 2024 but spent the majority of the year at Triple-A Norfolk, where he put up an .834 OPS with 16 homers. He can play everywhere other than catcher and will compete for a utility role with the White Sox.

Maton filed for free agency Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Maton spent most of the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level, posting a .258/.363/.471 slash line with 16 home runs, 56 RBI, 44 runs and one stolen base over 344 plate appearances. He got into five major-league games with the Orioles and went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts. Maton doesn't offer much in the way of power or speed, but he provides versatility, as he can play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield.

The Orioles outrighted Maton to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. For the third time this season, Maton has accepted an outright assignment from the Orioles after being scrubbed from the 40-man roster. He'll stick around with the organization as a utility infielder.

The Orioles designated Maton for assignment Sunday. He'll give up his spot on the roster to outfielder/designated hitter Heston Kjerstad (concussion), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 2, Maton saw action in five games for the Orioles and went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.

The Orioles outrighted Maton to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. It's the second time since March that Maton has been sent outright to Norfolk after clearing waivers. He has again accepted the outright assignment and will remain in the organization as utility depth.
