Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - The White Sox have apparently agreed to bring back former American League Cy Young Award winner and former Chicago pitcher Bartolo Colon. According to a story from MLB.com, first reported by FOXSports, Colon and the White Sox agreed to a one-year deal, which is pending a physical. The 35-year-old Colon pitched for the White Sox in 2003, when he went 15-13 with a 3.87 earned run average. He went to pitch for the Angels the following season, and got his Cy Young in 2005, when he won a career-best 21 games for the Angels. However, he has been in sharp decline since, not pitching in more than 100 innings in any season from 2006-08 and posting an 11-15 record and 5.50 ERA in 26 starts in the span. Colon spent last season with Boston, but only made seven starts. In 316 games -- 313 starts -- over 12 seasons with Cleveland, Montreal, the White Sox, Angels and Red Sox, Colon owns a 150-97 record and 4.09 ERA. |
