The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on a four-year, $73 million contract with free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal, the team announced Thursday.
Grandal, 31, will receive $18.25 million per season through 20023.
He reportedly turned down a four-year, $60 million offer from the New York Mets last offseason and bet on himself to have a big year. It paid off.
After signing a one-year, $18.25 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, Grandal posted career highs in homers (28) and RBIs (77) and earned his second career All-Star appearance.
