The White Sox and right-hander Lucas Giolito avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $7.45 million contract.
Giolito had expressed frustration and disappointment over having to go through the arbitration process with the White Sox after the two sides were only $200,000 apart in their filings last week. Giolito filed for $7.5 million while the Sox filed at $7.3 million.
