White Sox, LHP Derek Holland Agree On 1-Year Deal

(CBS) The rebuilding White Sox made a move Wednesday to add to their rotation.

Chicago and left-hander Derek Holland agreed to a one-year deal worth $6 million, the team announced.

The 30-year-old Holland was 7-9 with a 4.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 5.6 strikeouts/nine innings ratio with the Rangers in 2016, when he appeared in 22 games, making 20 starts.

"Derek gives a veteran, left-handed presence for our starting rotation with a proven track record of pitching well in big games," general manager Rick Hahn said in a statement. "This move provides us with additional depth and flexibility in the rotation."

Holland has a career 4.35 ERA. Holland is expected to fill a rotation spot following the White Sox's trade of Chris Sale to the Red Sox and a new approach in which the organization is rebuilding, with a stockpile of young, talented arms still developing in the minor leagues.

In November, the Rangers declined an $11 million option for 2017 on Holland, making him a free agent.
