The White Sox agreed to a one-year deal with infielder Josh Harrison.

The White Sox announced the signing of infielder Josh Harrison.

Harrison, a two-time All-Star, agreed to terms on a one-year, $5.5 million contract, which includes a club option for the 2023 season. Harrison, 34, is a career .274/.318/.401 hitter over 11 seasons. He batted .279/.341/.400 with eight home runs, 33 doubles, 60 RBI and nine stolen bases with the Nationals and Athletics last season.

Harrison, a right-handed hitter, has played second base, third base, shortstop and all the outfield positions, although mostly in the corner spots, during his career. His addition allows La Russa to use the switch-hitting Leury Garcia in the multipurpose role he excelled at last season.

‘Harrison could very well be the Opening Day second baseman,’ Hahn said. His versatility is a plus, GM said. pic.twitter.com/N4qnuuibpR
