CHICAGO (AP) — Anthony Kay is returning to the major leagues,
agreeing to a $12 million, two-year contract with the Chicago
White Sox.
The deal for the left-hander includes a mutual option for 2028,
according to a person who confirmed the agreement to The
Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because
it was pending a physical.
The 30-year-old Kay pitched in Japan for the past two years. He
last appeared in a big league game on Oct. 1, 2023, with the New
York Mets.
The White Sox finished last in the AL Central this year with a
60-102 record, but that was a 19-game improvement from the
previous season. They are hoping to take another step forward in
2026 behind a promising group of young players that includes
Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel and Chase Meidroth.
Kay started in Japan, but he worked out of the bullpen mostly
during his first stint in the majors.
Kay was selected by the Mets in the first round of the 2016
amateur draft out of the University of Connecticut. He is 4-2
with a 5.59 ERA in 44 major league games, also playing for
Toronto and the Chicago Cubs.
