Left-hander Derek Holland agrees to deal with White Sox

— -- Left-handed starter Derek Holland has agreed to a one-year, $6 million deal with the Chicago White Sox, according to multiple reports.

Holland can earn an additional $2 million by reaching certain incentives.

The 30-year-old Holland was part of the Texas Rangers' only two teams to reach the World Series in 2010 and 2011, but he has missed significant time because of injuries the past three seasons.

In 179 games for Texas, Holland is 62-50 with a 4.35 ERA. He was a 25th-round selection in the June 2006 amateur draft and signed with the Rangers the following May.

Holland was 7-9 with a 4.95 ERA in 22 games last season while also spending time on the 60-day disabled list for a third consecutive season. He missed two months with left shoulder inflammation.

Holland became a free agent this month when Texas declined its $11 million option on his contract and instead chose to pay him a $1.5 million buyout.
