The Chicago White Sox will bring back two familiar faces. Jon Heyman reports the team agreed to deals with second baseman Brett Lawrie and outfielder Avisail Garcia. Lawrie and Garcia were eligible for arbitration. Rather than enter into arbitration the White Sox agreed to terms with both players prior to the non-tender deadline.
Lawrie’s deal is for $3.5 million and Garcia will make $3 million next season according to Heyman. In case you’re wondering, that is lower than MLB Traderumors projected salaries for arbitration eligible players.
This seems like a pretty minor move for the Sox.
