The third time’s the charm for Giovany González, apparently.
The news broke early Thursday afternoon that the White Sox had reached agreement with the veteran southpaw, with no official announcement or details yet.
After drafting him with a sandwich pick in the first round of the 2004 draft, dealing him with Aaron Rowand for Jim Thome, requiring him with Gavin Floyd for Freddy García, and dealing him again in a package for Nick Swisher, González is back on the South Side.
Given Chicago’s desperate need for starters, presumably Gio actually will pitch for the White Sox in this go-round.
