Reliever Nate Jones agrees to 3-year deal with White Sox

After coming back following Tommy John surgery, reliever Nate Jones has agreed to a three-year, $8-million contract with the White Sox, team officials announced Friday.

According to Sox officials, the deal includes two club options and a mutual option. Jones will be paid $900,000 in 2016, $1.9 million in 2017 and $3.95 million in 2018. The White Sox hold club options for 2019 ($4.65 million) and 2020 ($5.15 million) with a mutual for 2021 ($6 million). If either club option is declined, Jones would receive a $1.25-million buyout.

Jones, 29, returned to the club last August and finished 2-2 with a 3.32 ERA (7 ER/19.0 IP) in 19 relief appearances.
