Reliever Nate Jones and the Chicago White Sox have agreed to a complicated $8 million, three-year contract, a deal that could increase to $22.55 million over six seasons if his elbow stays healthy and three options are exercised. In addition, if Jones is Chicago's closer over the six seasons and finishes games regularly, he would earn $26.3 million. A right-hander who turns 30 next month, Jones gets $900,000 next year, $1.9 million in 2017 and $3.95 million in 2018.
