The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a five-year extension with third baseman Yoan Moncada worth $70 million.
The contract includes a sixth-year club option worth $25 million and includes a $5 million buyout. It also buys out two years of Moncada's free agency.
Moncada, who was acquired by the White Sox in the trade that sent ace left-hander Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox in 2016, has hit .265 with 50 home runs and 163 RBIs in three seasons with Chicago.
He had a career season in 2019, hitting .315 with 25 home runs and 79 RBIs in 132 games.
