CHICAGO — A person familiar with the situation says the Chicago White Sox have agreed to a $4 million, one-year contract with veteran utility player Emilio Bonifacio that includes a club option for 2016.
The person spoke Monday on the condition of anonymity because the deal is pending a physical.
Bonifacio will earn $3 million next season, and the deal includes a $4 million option for 2016 with a $1 million buyout.
The 29-year-old is a .262 hitter with 164 stolen bases in eight big league seasons with Arizona, Washington, Miami, Toronto, Kansas City, the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta. He hit .259 in 110 games last season with the Cubs and Braves.

Wolves
Tenacious defense, McDaniels' anger spark Wolves to Game 2 win

Wild
After Wild miss playoffs, who will stay and who will go?
Strapped by salary cap issues, the Wild might look pretty much the same next season before they get cap relief in 2025-26.
Vikings
Another big Vikings need might not be addressed early in draft
The Vikings haven't had a dominant interior defense lineman in two decades, and they might not get one in the draft this year either because of the team's ultimate need at quarterback.
