During their home opener <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-michael-conforto-gets-100-real-about-looming-chance-to-savor-mets-atmosphere-again" rel="noopener">against the San Francisco Giants</a>, Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn appeared to exchange words Giants pitcher Anthony DeSclafani.</p><p>During the second inning of the Giants’ 12-3 win, Vaughn hit a weak ground ball to the right of the mound. DeSclafani fielded it, tossed the ball to first for the out, then <a href="https://twitter.com/vstathop/status/1642989520630038528" rel="noopener">immediately barked something</a> toward Vaughn as Vaughn jogged back to the White Sox dugout.</p><p>DeSclafani <a href="https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/1643020262324027393?s=12&amp;t=bm8qRt18zuhlXFzV7rKRAQ" rel="noopener">told reporters after</a> the game that there are “no ill feelings” toward Vaughn.</p><p>“He just didn’t say a nice word to me. So I just said something back. We’re all competing and there’s no ill feelings toward him. I think he was just upset I threw a 3-0 slider,” DeSclafani said.</p><p>If DeSclafani’s claims are true, what a bizarre thing for Vaughn to be upset about. Of the many “unwritten rules” of baseball, throwing an offspeed pitch in a 3-0 count isn’t an obvious one. Sure pitchers typically do sling a fastball right down the middle in the situation, but there’s no excuse for Vaughn to say something about it, especially considering he swung at the pitch.</p><p>The two faced each other once more later in the game, with Vaughn flying out to right field. Unfortunately for fans of bust-ups like this in baseball, this is the only series <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-joey-bart-gets-immediate-medical-decision-after-getting-scratched-vs-yankees" rel="noopener">between the Giants and White Sox</a> this season. Unless the two teams meet in the World Series, Desclafani and Vaughn won’t get the chance to face each other again until next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Abreu was previously one of the faces of the franchise <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/astros-news-jose-abreu-joins-houston-for-2023-world-series-defense-in-free-agency-bombshell" rel="noopener">before signing in Houston</a> with the Astros this offseason. Vaughn, who was formerly a highly-touted prospect, recently <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/andrew-vaughn-follows-in-footsteps-of-great-white-sox-1b" rel="noopener">addressed the matter</a> of replacing Abreu, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.</p><p>“Those are big footsteps to step into,” Vaughn told MLB.com. “I don’t want to be that guy. I want to be my own player and go out and do my best and do whatever I can to help the Sox win.”</p><p>Andrew Vaughn quietly enjoyed a strong 2022 campaign for a White Sox team that otherwise underperformed. The 24-year old slashed .271/.321/.429 with a .750 OPS and 17 home runs in 134 games.</p><p>Filling the shoes of Jose Abreu will certainly prove to be a challenge. Abreu, who had been with the White Sox since 2014, slashed .292/.354/.506 with an .860 OPS during the course of his 9 seasons in Chicago. Abreu will be remembered as one of the best players to ever don a White Sox uniform.</p><p>But Andrew Vaughn has an opportunity to develop into a special player. He features a pure hit-tool to go along with an impressive power stroke. It would not be surprising to see Vaughn emerge as a star for Chicago in 2023 as he receives regular reps at first base.</p><p>The White Sox are looking to rebound following their forgettable 2022 campaign. They entered the year with World Series aspirations only to miss the postseason altogether. Perhaps Andrew Vaughn can help them bounce back in 2023.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
