White Sox Finalizing Long-Term Deal With Eloy Jimenez

Well, it turns out that Hector Gomez was right all along, just for less money than he first reported.

ESPN's Jeff Passan is also reporting the deal is close between Eloy Jimenez and the White Sox.

Say whatever you want about the White Sox front office, Rick Hahn and company are great at signing their young studs to really cheap deals. Passan is reporting the deal is worth $40 million guaranteed over six years and then two club options.

Ken Rosenthal with the specific amount. $43 million for Eloy.

That's not bad for either side and is actually pretty cheap if Eloy lives up to the hype compared to what he'd be making at the end of his arbitration years. Total deal can be worth up to $77 million over eight years.
