(670 The Score) The White Sox are reuniting with outfielder Adam Eaton.
Chicago and Eaton have agreed to a one-year, $7-million deal, Chuck Garfien of NBC Sports Chicago reported Tuesday. The deal includes a team option for a second season at $8.5 million.
Eaton, 32, played for the White Sox from 2014-’16 until they traded him to the Nationals in December 2016 in a deal that netted them ace Lucas Giolito. Eaton hit .226 with four homers, 17 RBIs and a .669 OPS in 41 games in 2020. He hit .279 with 15 homers, 49 RBIs and a .792 OPS in 151 games in 2019.
Eaton projects to fill the White Sox’s hole in right field after they non-tendered Nomar Mazara last week.
