NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A person familiar with the contract told The Associated Press that versatile infielder Jeff Keppinger has reached agreement with the White Sox on a $12 million, three-year contract.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because there was no announcement by the team.

Keppinger hit .325 with a career-high nine home runs and 40 RBIs for Tampa Bay last season. The well-traveled 32-year-old is known for making contact and has more walks than strikeouts during his eight-year career with the Rays, San Francisco, Houston, Cincinnati, Kansas City and the Mets.
