Long-rumored, promised by this very site as recently as eight days ago, Liam Hendriks agreed to a four-year, $54 million deal with the White Sox on Monday, as broken late by Tim Brown of Yahoo.
The deal was made official on Friday.
“With the acquisition of Liam, we are adding another premium talent to our core group of players,” GM Rick Hahn said in the White Sox release announcing the deal. “Liam is someone of outstanding character and makeup who will be an asset both on the field and in the clubhouse. He gives Tony and Ethan another weapon to make our bullpen even deeper and more versatile.
