Free agent outfielder Jon Jay agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with the Chicago White Sox, a source confirmed to ESPN, adding another close friend of Manny Machado as the White Sox pursue the star in free agency.
The 33-year-old Jay, who will join his sixth team in the last five seasons, trains with Machado and new White Sox first baseman Yonder Alonso, who is Machado's brother-in-law. The White Sox's attempts to entice Machado have come alongside their interest in outfielder Bryce Harper, the other big-name free agent who remains available.
