Last week the White Sox designated infielder Jake for assignment to make their one-year deal with Josh Rojas official. The move came as no surprise but did provide a snapshot of how the White Sox intend to operate this season.
Rojas signed a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. However, he can earn up to $1 million in performance bonuses. The former 26th-round pick can earn $500,000 based on the number of games played. He will earn $100,000 if he plays in 90 games and an additional $100,000 for every 10 games after that up to 130.
