Rollins signed a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox a year ago and made the team out of Spring Training. However, Rollins only lasted 41 games with the White Sox before ultimately being released, as slashed just .221/.295/.329 and continued to show decline in the field. Rollins was released on June 15 and sat out the rest of the season. During his time away from the game, the 38-year-old made a few guest appearances on FS1's MLB coverage, before joining TBS for their coverage of the American League playoffs.
While Rollins is signing a minor league deal for the second consecutive offseason, he seems to be vying for a different role this time. A year ago, he was competing to be the White Sox starting shortstop. This year, that won't be the case as the Brandon Crawford is firmly entrenched at short, meaning Rollins would become more of a super utility player if he were to make the team. Rollins may have to demonstrate an ability to play left field to increase his chances of making the team, especially if second baseman Joe Panik bounces back from a disappointing 2016 campaign.
In parts of 17 big league seasons, Rollins has slashed .264/.324/.418, while accumulating 2,455 hits, winning four Gold Glove Awards, the 2007 National League MVP and the 2008 World Series.
