Seranthony Domínguez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Confirmed as closer Manager Will Venable officially named Dominguez as the closer for the White Sox to begin the 2026 season, James Fegan of Sox Machine reports.

Impact Dominguez joined the White Sox on a two-year, $20 million deal in late January, which presumably lined him up to be the team's closer. Venable left no doubt during comments to the media early in spring training, clearly tabbing Dominguez for the ninth-inning role. More interestingly, Brian Bannister, the director of pitching, credited Dominguez's introduction of a splitter for his improved home run rate in 2025 and believes it can carry over into 2026 due to its ability to neutralize lefty power.

Signs with ChiSox to become closer The White Sox signed Dominguez to a two-year, $20 million contract Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There's also a mutual option for 2028, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Passan says the White Sox plan to use Dominguez as their closer. Dominguez has some closer experience, having notched 40 saves in his career, including 11 in 2024 between the Phillies and Orioles. The 31-year-old is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him collect a 3.16 ERA and 79:36 K:BB over 62.2 regular-season frames between the Orioles and Blue Jays. Dominguez boasts a career 27.9 percent strikeout rate, but free passes (career 10.5 percent walk rate) have been a problem. With Dominguez taking over the ninth inning, previous incumbent closer options Jordan Leasure and Grant Taylor will work earlier in games.
