WHITE SOX AGREE TO TERMS ON ONE-YEAR CONTRACT
WITH RIGHT-HANDER TOM GORDON
CHICAGO - The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with free agent pitcher Tom Gordon. The move was announced this afternoon by Ken Williams, White Sox general manager.
Gordon, 35, went 1-3 with a 3.38 ERA (16 ER/42.2 IP) and no saves in 34 relief appearances with the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros in 2002. He missed most of the first half of 2002 with a Teres Major muscle tear in the back of his right shoulder.
The 5-10, 190-pound right-hander made his debut on July 2 and finished the season with an average of 10.1 strikeouts (48 SO) per 9.0 IP. Gordon, who was traded by the Cubs to the Astros on August 20, compiled a 0.92 ERA (2 ER/
19.2 IP) in 15 outings from August 10-September 12, including scoreless streaks of 8.2 IP and 10.0 IP.
Over his 14-year career, Gordon is 106-101 with a 4.11 ERA (792 ER/
1,733.0 IP), 1,546 strikeouts and 98 saves in 525 games (203 starts). Gordon’s best season as a reliever came in 1998 with Boston when he recorded a league-leading 46 saves.
