White Sox Sign Veteran Pitcher Martín Pérez to 1-Year Deal

The 33-year-old left-hander joins Chicago's rotation after a solid finish to the 2024 season with the Padres.

Martín Pérez has agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with the Chicago White Sox, pending a physical.
The deal includes a $3.5 million salary and a $1.5 million buyout on a $10 million mutual option for 2026.
Pérez, a former All-Star with a 13-year MLB career, posted a 4.53 ERA in 135 innings across 26 starts for the Pirates and Padres in 2024.
Chicago aims to rebuild after a record-setting 121-loss season in 2024, with Pérez expected to provide stability and mentorship to a young rotation.
The White Sox have made additional roster moves, including signing infielder Josh Rojas and designating infielder Jake Amaya for assignment.
