Bummer agreed to a five-year, $16-million contract, plus two club options that could extend the deal through 2026.
Bummer will receive $1 million in 2020, $2 million in 2021, $2.5 million in 2022, $3.75 million in 2023 and $5.5 million in 2024. The White Sox hold team options for $7.25 million in 2025 and $7.5 million in 2026 (paying $1.25 million buyouts for either season).
