On Thursday, the Chicago White Sox made a crucial move for their long-term plans by signing star third baseman Yoan Moncada to a five-year, $70 million extension as first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The deal also includes a club option that would bring the total value of the deal to $90 million if exercised.
Moncada, 24, finally had the breakout season everyone had been waiting to see in 2019 as he hit .315/.367/.548 with 25 home runs, 79 RBI, and a 141 wRC+ which gave him a very good 5.
