Slater could earn $500,000 in performance
bonuses under the terms of the deal. He would get $50,000 for
playing in 50 games and $75,000 each for 75 and 100 games. He
would also earn $50,000 for 100, 150 and 200 plate appearances
and $75,000 for 250 and 300 plate appearances.
Slater, who turns 32 next month, batted .209 with two homers and
18 RBIs in 84 games for San Francisco, Cincinnati and Baltimore
last season. He is a career .252 hitter with 40 homers and 171
RBIs in eight seasons with the Giants, Reds and Orioles.
After the White Sox went 41-121 and broke the modern major
league record for losses in a season, they hired Will Venable as
manager on Oct. 31 to take over for Pedro Grifol, who was fired
in August, and interim manager Grady Sizemore.
