Multiple sources not named Bob Nightengale reported on Tuesday that reliever Kendall Graveman, late of Houston and Seattle but making his grade for several seasons with the Oakland A’s, inked a three-year, $24 million deal.
White Sox said closing in on a deal for Kendall Graveman. $24M for 3 years range.

Later, Nightengale confirmed the deal, and confirming White Sox moves is the one area the USA Today “lead baseball writer” excels. So, at risk of pulling a Liam Hendriks unveil a week early — James Fox had the scoop for us a year ago, before the whole thing was almost scuttled due to a late “mystery team” entering the bidding and forcing the White Sox to push the deal to four years — it looks like the replacement for Ryan Tepera has arrived.
