The Chicago White Sox agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with free-agent outfielder Jon Jay on Monday. On a rebuilding White Sox club, Jay may be able to find a starting gig in the outfield, but he still doesn't have much of a fantasy ceiling. Jay will turn 34 in March and hit just […]

White Sox In Serious Discussions With Jon Jay

The Chicago White Sox are in serious discussions with free-agent outfielder Jon Jay, according to sources.
