White Sox sign Gio Gonzalez to fill out rotation
Robert Murray of the Athletic reports that the Chicago White Sox have agreed to a deal with left-hander Gio Gonzalez.
Presumably, the deal is for one year as he is not quite in the tier of pitchers you’d expect to get a multi-year deal.
Gonzalez, 34, only made 19 appearances (17 starts) in 2019 as he battled left arm fatigue for almost two months.
In the time he did pitch, Gonzalez had a 3.50 ERA, 4.04 FIP, and 1.294 WHIP with 8.0 K/9 as compared to 3.8 BB/9.
Prior to that, he was the epitome of durable as he had made 30 or more starts in four straight seasons and in eight of the last nine.
For his career, Gonzalez has a 3.68 ERA, 3.65 FIP, and 1.315 WHIP with 8.6 K/9 as compared to 3.8 BB/9.
