Cueto reportedly would make a prorated portion of a $4.2 million
salary for any time he spends in the major leagues. MLB Network
added that the deal gives Cueto an opt-out option as of May 15.
The White Sox were short a starter with right-hander Lance Lynn
expected to undergo right knee surgery on Tuesday, a procedure
that likely will sideline him for a month.
Cueto tweeted Monday night, "Much love to the fans of the San
Francisco Giants. You guys are the best. I will miss you. (To)
the amazing staff in SF ... thanks for everything. Let's get to
work Chicago."
Cueto, 36, is a two-time All-Star who is entering his 15th major
league season. He broke in with the Reds in 2008 and remained in
Cincinnati until he was traded to Kansas City in July 2015.
Cueto went 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in four postseason starts with
the Royals that year, helping them win the World Series.
He then signed as a free agent with the Giants, and he pitched
in San Francisco the past six years. Last season, Cueto went 7-7
with a 4.08 ERA in 22 games (21 starts).
In 330 career games (329 starts), Cueto has a 135-97 record with
a 3.45 ERA.
