According to a report this afternoon, Adam Eaton has signed on to return to Chicago, inking a 1-year/$7M deal with the White Sox which includes a team option for 2022 at $8.5M.
Eaton, 32, spent three seasons with the Sox (2014-16), before he was traded to Washington in a three-for-one deal that sent pitchers Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Dane Dunning (who was traded last night) to the South Side of Chicago.
White Sox’ anchor, reporter and podcaster at NBC Sports Chicago Chuck Garfien was first with the report today (that we saw).
