A few weeks ago Jermaine Dye was wanted by the Boston Red Sox but the White Sox asking price was too high. Today, the South Side White Sox decided to sign Dye to a 2-year $22 million extension. The deal includes a mutual option for a 3rd year.
Dye gave the Chi-sox a hometown discount rather than testing the open waters of free agency this winter. Dye has played for the Royals, Braves and A’s besides the White Sox in his career.
I guess the White Sox wanted to make some noise in the Chicago papers after the Big Z signing yesterday.
