Former White Sox All-Star Is Still An MLB Free Agent
GettyTim Anderson #7 of the Chicago White Sox looks on prior to the game against the Seattle Mariners at Guaranteed Rate Field on August 21, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.
With the season over one month in, it’s worth noting that a former White Sox All-Star is still a free agent.
Tim Anderson is available to be signed by any team in the MLB.
Last season, the 32-year-old appeared in 31 games for the Los Angeles Angels.
Just Baseball wrote (on May 28, 2025): “Tim Anderson has played for three different teams in the last three years. His OPS each year:
2023 White Sox: .582 2024 Marlins: .463 2025 Angels: .499
He was just DFA’d by the Angels. One of the biggest falloffs we’ve ever seen.”

Anderson was the 17th pick in the 2013 MLB Draft.
He spent the first eight years of his career playing for the White Sox.
In 2021 and 2022, Anderson made back-to-back All-Star Games.

Following the White Sox, Anderson played one season for the Miami Marlins (and one for the Angels).
However, he was never able to return to All-Star form.
It will be interesting to see if another team picks up Anderson before the end of the 2026 season.
At his age, he is still worth taking a look at.
Yahoo Sports (wrote on July 3, 2024): “In 2019, Tim Anderson won the AL batting title with the White Sox. On Tuesday, he was designated for assignment by the Marlins as his years-long downward spiral reached a new low.”
