Chicago White Sox granted Outfielder-first bass man Joey Gallo his unconditional release on Sunday, and he announced on social media that he intends to continue his career as a jug.
Gallo signed a smaller league agreement with an invitation to Chicago’s spring training on February 15.
The 31-year-old Hit .100 (2 for 20) with 11 strikes in nine matches this spring.
If Gallo looks seriously with the transition to pitching, he is now free to look for a team that wants to develop him at Haugen. He was a jug in high school but is not believed to have PRO experience.

Gallo, a twice all-star and double gold glove winner, has had problems at the plate since he met .253 with Texas Rangers 2019 and beat less than .200 during each season ago.
Rangers sent him to the New York Yankees at the trade deadline in 2021, and he has since played occasional seasons with Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins and Washington Nationals.
Last season in Washington, Gallo played in 76 games and met .161 with 10 homers and 27 RBI. He knocked out 102 times in 223 bats.
