Peavy agrees to new deal

CHICAGO – Jake Peavy will be hard pressed to top what started as a routine Tuesday.

The White Sox signed Peavy to a two-year, $29 million contract extension and hours later, the 31-year-old right-hander won his first Gold Glove Award, sharing the honor with Tampa Bay’s Jeremy Hellickson. Peavy became the third pitcher in Sox history to win the award.

Peavy holds a $15 million option for 2015 if he reaches a certain number of innings pitched both years. The Sox also must pay the $4 million buyout because of the terms in Peavy’s previous contract which will be given in equal installments from 2016-19.
