The Chicago White Sox have officially re-signed catcher Omar Narvez to a minor league contract, as confirmed by their Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte. This decision comes after Narvez elected free agency on Monday, following his outright assignment off the Sox's major league roster.

Narvez's journey back to the White Sox comes on the heels of a brief stint in the majors. He had been called up to fill in as a backup catcher following an injury to Korey Lee. During his time in the big leagues, Narvez appeared in four games, where he managed to achieve a batting average of .286, going 2-for-7 at the plate, alongside two walks.

However, the recent promotion of highly regarded prospect Edgar Quero on Thursday played a significant role in Narvezs return to the minors. With Quero now expected to receive regular playing time, the White Sox's catching situation became less favorable for Narvez, especially as Matt Thaiss, the team's other catcher, is out of options and cannot be demoted without clearing waivers. Additionally, the top prospect Kyle Teel has established himself as the starting catcher in Charlotte, leaving Narvez with the role of backup in the minor leagues.

Despite the circumstances of his reassignment, Narvez appears to be at ease with the current situation. He has a history with the White Sox, having spent the first three years of his major league career at the club from 2016 to 2018. After departing the team, Narvez went on to prove himself as a reliable starting catcher with the Seattle Mariners and the Milwaukee Brewers, where he developed his skills significantly. However, his performance has seen a decline in the past few seasons, having recorded a disappointing .201/.278/.286 slash line since the beginning of 2022.

As he embarks on this new chapter with the White Sox organization, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Narvez can regain some of his former form and provide valuable experience to the younger players in the system.
