CHICAGO -- A person familiar with the situation says the Chicago White Sox and reliever Dan Jennings have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $1.4 million, one-year contract.
The person spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. FanRag sports first reported the deal.
Jennings made a career-high 64 appearances last year in his second season with the White Sox, going 4-3 with a 2.08 ERA. His 46 strikeouts matched a personal best set in 2015.
The White Sox finished fourth in the AL Central at 78-84 last year -- their fourth straight losing season.
