The Chicago White Sox added another late-inning righty to the mix on Monday, giving Kelvin Herrera a two-year, $18 million free agent deal. Per The Athletic’s James Fegan, there is a third-year vesting option that can kick in, also at $9 million.
It’s not clear how closing duties will be parsed out between Herrera and Alex Colomé, who the White Sox acquired from the Seattle Mariners earlier in the offseason.
Herrera had his 2018 shortened by a foot injury that apparently has cleared up enough for the fireballer to pass his physical, so expect a fearsome trio of Herrera, Colomé and Nate Jones spearheading the spring training 2019 pen at Camelback.
