White Sox get Keuchel at 3 years, $55.5 million
Left-hander Dallas Keuchel and the Chicago White Sox are in agreement on a three-year, $55.5 million deal. The agreement includes a vesting fourth-year option worth $18.5 million.
Keuchel, the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner, coveted a big free-agent deal prior to the 2019 season, but he instead had to wait until after the June amateur draft -- when a team didn't have to give up a draft pick as compensation to sign him -- for the Atlanta Braves to give him a $13 million deal for the remainder of the season.
The left-hander, who turns 32 on Jan. 1, signed with the Braves on June 7 and made two minor league starts before making his 2019 debut on June 21. He went 8-8 with a 3.75 ERA in 112⅔ innings over 19 starts for the Braves.
Keuchel spent seven seasons with the Houston Astros, going to the All-Star Game twice and posting a 76-63 record with a 3.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP.
