The Chicago White Sox and veteran left-hander Martin Perez are in agreement on a one-year deal worth $5 million, a source told ESPN amid multiple reports Wednesday. Perez, 33, went 5-6 with a 4.53 ERA in 26 starts with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres in 2024.

The Chicago White Sox have added Martín Pérez to their rotation, agreeing to a one-year contract with the veteran left-hander, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations.

The Boston Red Sox have made it clear all offseason long that they intend to rise the ranks in the MLB after a few seasons spent in the middle of the pack. And they certainly have put their money where their mouth is.

The Red Sox made one of the biggest trade acquisitions of the winter, landing Garrett Crochet from the White Sox for four prospects. Boston apparently has interest in keeping its newly acquired southpaw for the longer term.
