Elvis Andrus News
USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Monday that the Boston Red Sox have "expressed interest" in free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus and free-agent second baseman/outfielder Jurickson Profar. The team will be without Trevor Story (elbow) for several months at least, as he recovers from elbow surgery, and they no longer have Xander Bogaerts, so either or both players would provide depth. Andrus had a surprise 2022 season, slashing .249/.303/.404 with 17 home runs, 58 RBI and 18 stolen bases with the Athletics and White Sox. Profar slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI and five stolen bases with the Padres. The Red Sox's lineup will not be as strong as it historically has been, and while either player could provide speed with some power, they would be, at best, late-round rotisserie picks if they signed.
Chicago White Sox shortstop Elvis Andrus hit a grand slam Saturday night, pitching in in a 13-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Andrus has slashed .276/.311/.414 in 14 games and 58 at-bats since joining the club. He went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's game. Andrus now has a seven-game hitting streak, and he's taken over the starting shortstop job. Despite the team's rough year, Chicago still has all the pieces to be a dominant offense, and Andrus could offer value to desperate fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
The Chicago White Sox signed free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus to an undisclosed deal on Thursday after he was released by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, according to sources. Andrus is expected to join the White Sox in Cleveland on Friday for the start of their series against the Guardians. Chicago has been using Romy Gonzalez, Lenyn Sosa and Leury Garcia at shortstop with Tim Anderson (finger) on the injured list, but Andrus should take over regular duties at the 6 moving forward. As a regular for the A's in 106 games this year, the 33-year-old veteran hit .237/.301/.373 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 41 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 354 at-bats. Andrus doesn't have much upside these days, but the move to the Pale Hose does make him more attractive in deeper fantasy formats.
