Slugger Edwin Encarnacion and the White Sox are in agreement on a one-year deal for $12 million with a club option for 2021 at $12 million, sources tell ESPN.
The deal was first reported by Dominican journalist Yancen Pujols.
The 36-year-old Encarnacion batted .258 in 110 games last season with the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. The Yankees acquired the three-time All-Star from Seattle in June to bolster a lineup sapped by injuries. Cash from the Mariners in the trade meant the deal cost New York just $8 million of the $25 million he was owed in 2020, including a $5 million buyout.
