Steve Cishek Joining White Sox
5 years agoThe Chicago White Sox and relief pitcher Steve Cishek agreed on a one-year, $6 million deal on Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the agreement. The deal includes an option that could take the deal to a second year at $12 million total. Cishek had a 2.95 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, seven saves and 57 K's in 64 innings for the Cubs in 2019. He has 132 career saves under his belt, but he'll likely open the season alongside Kelvin Herrera as a setup man for closer Alex Colome, severely limiting his fantasy appeal. If Colome falters at all or is injured, though, Cishek could be the first man up for ninth-inning duties for a vastly improved White Sox squad.
