CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a $3 million, one-year contract with pitcher Carlos Rodón, a person familiar with the negotiations said on Saturday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal is subject to a successful physical.
The White Sox nontendered Rodón last month, making him a free agent. But they didn’t rule out re-signing him.
Rodón was selected by Chicago with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft. He broke into the majors the following season and looked as if he could be a key member of the team’s rotation for years to come before he was hampered by a series of injuries.
The 28-year-old left-hander is 29-33 with a 4.14 ERA in 97 career major league games, including 92 starts. He made four appearances last year, going 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA.
