Andrus has been a consistent performer throughout his career, spending the majority of his time with the Texas Rangers. Andrus signed a one-year deal with the Chicago White Sox  He has been known for his speed (maybe not much anymore) on the basepaths, his defensive prowess, and his ability to hit for average.

The Chicago White Sox are +4000 to win the World Series according to Illinois sportsbooks.

Andrus’ accomplishment is made even more impressive when considering the obstacles he has had to overcome throughout his career. He was traded to the Athletics prior to the 2021 season after spending over a decade with the Rangers. He has had to adjust to a new team and a new role. Additionally, he missed a significant portion of the 2020 season due to a back injury.

Despite these challenges, Andrus has continued to perform at a serviceable level. Even though it is not uncommon for players around Andrus’ age to reach that milestone, it is still one of the hardest accomplishments to achieve while playing in the MLB. It is much more common than hit 3,000, however

Andrus’ main focus is undoubtedly on helping the White Sox compete for a playoff spot this season. Achieving the 2,000-hit mark is a significant accomplishment that will likely be celebrated by fans, teammates, and opponents alike. It is a testament to Andrus’ talent and dedication, and a reminder of his impressive career accomplishment.
