Former Padres right-hander Mike Clevinger reportedly agrees to 1-year deal with White Sox.
The White Sox got a big lift from Johnny Cueto this year, but the 36-year-old right-hander is a free agent after going 8-10 with a 3.35 ERA in 25 appearances. Clevinger slots into a rotation that likely will include Dylan Cease, Lance Lynn, Lucas Giolito and Michael Kopech.
The move puts the 6-foot-4 Clevinger back in the AL Central after he made his major league debut with Cleveland in 2016. He went 42-22 with a 3.20 ERA in four-plus seasons with Cleveland before he was traded to San Diego in a multiplayer deal in August 2020. Clevinger was selected by the Los Angeles Angels in the fourth round of the 2011 amateur draft. He was traded to Cleveland in 2014.
Clevinger is 51-30 with a 3.39 ERA in 128 career big league games. He also has 694 strikeouts in 656 2/3 innings. Up until Monday's news, the Padres had been successful holding onto their pitching staff. The week before last, reliever Robert Suarez and the Friars finalized a $46 million, five-year contract, a deal that could be worth $61 million if he closes regularly and stays healthy. The day prior, news came that right-hander Nick Martinez had agreed to a three-year, $26 million contract with the Padres.
