Oscar Colás: Everything you need to know

Colas signed a contract with Mexican League club Saraperos de Saltillo on April 20. Before opting to continue his career in Mexico, the 27-year-old outfielder had been available on the open market since early November, after he elected to become a free agent following the 2025 season. Colas was once a prized prospect in the White Sox system but struggled to produce over parts of two seasons in the big leagues in 2023 and 2024, slashing just .223/.271/.309 with five home runs and a 26.9 percent strikeout rate over 301 plate appearances.

Colas agreed Sunday with the Angels on a minor-league contract, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Once Colas passes a physical, he's expected to report to the Angels' Double-A affiliate in Rocket City. After signing with the White Sox in January 2022 as an international free agent out of Cuba, Colas quickly emerged as one of the organization's top prospects. He never delivered on his potential, however, amassing a .223/.271/.309 slash line across 301 plate appearances over 88 games in Chicago between the 2023 and 2024 seasons before he was removed from the 40-man roster in late March. The 26-year-old outfielder had continued to languish in the minors before the White Sox released him Saturday, as he turned in a .500 OPS in 29 games between Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham this season.

The White Sox released Colas from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Colas was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte in late March after being DFA'd by the White Sox at the conclusion of spring training. The 26-year-old has struggled in Triple-A this season, slashing .116/.224/.209 with two steals, six RBI and a 34.7 percent strikeout rate over 49 plate appearances. Colas appeared in 88 regular-season games for the White Sox between 2023 and 2024, and there may be a team out there willing to take a flier on the Cuban outfielder.
