Caleb Bonemer’s AFL performance strengthens potential 2027 role with White Sox
Caleb Bonemer, the Chicago White Sox current No.2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, just wrapped up a three week showing in the Arizona Fall League (AFL) where he got extra game reps as an outfielder. Bonemer was drafted as a shortstop/third baseman, but in August of this year was asked to learn the outfield, with the AFL serving as a supplemental way to get more game experience.
Across 13 AFL games, Bonemer has 12 games where he played the outfield including eight in center field, three in left, and on in right. He committed just one error during that time, but also lost one ball in the sun that was marked as a hit. When asked about the challenges of playing all three different spots, he told MLB.com’s Sam Dykstra, “I got to deal with different spin on the ball and stuff like that. Overall, I think I felt pretty comfortable.”
Given Bonemer’s subjective report of his comfort level, an entire off-season to continue working on his defense, and the offensive upside he has already displayed, including 37 home runs, 29 doubles, 92 RBI, and 84 BB across the High-A and Double-A levels this year, there is a strong possibility that 21 year old factors into the White Sox plans in 2027.
Caleb Bonemer has a path to outfield playing time with the Chicago White Sox in 2027
Throughout the 2026 season, the White Sox saw several outfielders come and go. Derek Hill, Everson Pereira, Jarred Kelenic, and Austin Hays are all just a few examples of players the front office trialed at the position, before the likes of Sam Antonacci, Tristan Peters, Braden Montgomery, Randal Grichuk, and Brenton Doyle became the regulars.
With Antonacci, Peters, and Montgomery locked up for the forseeable future, Grichuk hitting free agency, and a looming tender decision on Doyle coming as he is projected to earn $3.6 million in arbitration this off-season, adding Bonemer’s right-handed power bat would provide offensive upside while creating healthy competition for playing time and giving the organization another potential contributor moving forward.
With the offseason set to begin following the conclusion of the World Series, Chicago has plenty of decisions to make. However, knowing Bonemer could emerge as a legitimate outfield option as soon as next season gives the organization another intriguing possibility to consider as it shapes its roster for the future.
