    Michael Saunders: Cut loose by White Sox

    Michael Saunders was released by the White Sox on Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.Saunders was signed to a minor-league deal exactly one month ago, but failed to impress during his brief stay with Triple-A Charlotte. Across 13 games, he went just 7-for-46 (.152 average) and has only played in one contest since June 6. The 31-year-old outfielder will attempt to find a new home but remains unlikely to make much of an impact at the major-league level in 2018 even if another organization gives him a shot.

    White Sox's Michael Saunders: Joins White Sox organization

    Michael Saunders signed with the Chicago White Sox on a minor-league deal and will report to Triple-A Charlotte.Saunders has failed to stick with three teams already this season, having been released by the Pirates and Royals in spring training and the Orioles in mid-May. He's found another organization lacking in outfield talent at the big-league level, but he hit just .161 in 25 games for Triple-A Norfolk after hitting .202 at the major-league level last season, so the odds of him making an impact this season appear to be low.

    Michael Saunders: Cut loose by Orioles

    Michael Saunders was released by the Orioles on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.Saunders will look for major-league opportunities elsewhere after opting out of his minor-league deal with the Orioles. The 31-year-old was hitting just .161/.291/.253 across 25 games with Triple-A Norfolk. Given his struggles over the past two seasons, Saunders likely won't serve as anything more than organizational outfield depth wherever he winds up.

    Michael Saunders signed a minor-league deal with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.Saunders failed to make both the Pirates and the Royals this spring. He'll hope to impress the Orioles enough at Triple-A Norfolk to earn a major-league call-up. The 31-year-old will need to perform far better than he did last year in order to stick around in the big leagues; he hit just .202/.256/.344 in 73 games with Philadelphia and Toronto.

    Royals' Michael Saunders: Signs with Royals

    Michael Saunders agreed to terms with the Kansas City Royals on a minor-league contract Friday.Saunders had signed with the Pirates just two days prior, but was released earlier on Friday, possibly as a result of the Pirates' acquisition of Corey Dickerson. The veteran outfielder joins one of the weakest rosters in the league, so he has a path to playing time, though he'll have to perform considerably better than he did last season when he hit .202/.256/.344 in 73 games with Philadelphia and Toronto.

    Pirates' Michael Saunders: Comes to terms with Pirates

    Michael Saunders agreed to a minor-league contract with Pittsburgh on Wednesday which includes an invite to spring training.Last season, Saunders wasn't able to repeat his All-Star form from 2016, slashing just .202/.256/.344 with six home runs and 21 RBI in 73 games. He began the year with Philadelphia, but returned to Toronto after being released by the Phillies in late June. He will be given an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but the Pittsburgh Pirates' starting outfield is pretty well set, with Jordan Luplow heading into camp as the fourth outfielder and top prospect Austin Meadows waiting for his chance at the Triple-A level.
