White Sox Reach Deal With J.J. Putz

Author An article by Hojo's Mojo    Comments 5 Comments

Mets Pirates BaseballThe White Sox have signed free-agent reliever J.J. Putz to a one-year, $3 million dollar contract, according to Noah Coslov from MLB.com.

The contract includes several incentives that could increase the value of the deal to as much as $10 million dollars.

The Mets acquired Putz from the Mariners last off season in a three-team trade with the Indians Indians for Aaron Heilman, Endy Chavez, Jason Vargas and minor leaguers Mike Carp, Maikel Cleto and Ezequiel Carrera. The Mets also received Jeremy Reed and Sean Green.

The Mets declined to pick up Putz’s option after an injury-plagued season in which he appeared in just 29 games and posted a 5.22 ERA.

    I wonder who would be the setup man for the Mets now? I haven’t anything that the Mets were interested in bringing in someone to pitch the 8th.

    Good pickup by Chisox.

    He was hurt this year, he may wind up doing a good job for themm.

    In retrospect, it looks like that trade came down to Endy Chavez and Mike Carp for Sean Green. Pretty much a sad tale for the Mets.

      Dont overlook Mike Carp who I believe will get his first shot at an everyday job and will make all the Daniel Murphy lovers cry in their soup.

        That’s what makes the Putz deal look like a sad tale to me.
