Chicago White Sox and 1st round pick Chris Sale reach agreement

By Allan

Jim Callis of Baseball America reports that first-round and number 13th overall pick from the 2010 MLB Draft, Chris, Sale, has agreed with the Chicago White Sox for the MLB recommended bonus of $1.656 million.

Sale will take a physical on Monday and will likely sign a deal on Tuesday. Sale is the highest-drafted player to agree to terms this ummer.

Sale will initially report to Class A Winston-Salem, with an anticipated promotion to Triple-A Charlotte in July. Callis says Sale could have an opportunity to join the Big League bullpen as early as August. Sale will also join the Arizona Fall League as a starter and get an opportunity to make the starting rotation in Spring Training in 2011.
