White Sox, James McCann reach 1-year deal

The White Sox answered one of their offseason questions Friday, agreeing to a $2.5 million, one-year contract with catcher James McCann, according to multiple reports.

Yahoo Sports first reported the agreement.

The White Sox had an opening at the position after trading Omar Narvaez to Seattle on Nov. 30 for reliever Alex Colome. They also lost Kevan Smith when he was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels in October.

Zack Collins and Seby Zavala are coming up through the minors, but the addition of McCann allows the White Sox to move slowly with the catching prospects.
