The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with Kendall Graveman, according to a source.

The Seattle Mariners traded Graveman to the Houston Astros on July 27.

Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward got a contract extension Friday that goes through the 2023 season and includes a club option for another year after that.

The Houston Astros have agreed to keep Justin Verlander on a one-year, $25 million deal, according to sources.

The deal includes a player option for 2023 as well.

Verlander won the 2019 American League Cy Young, but has made just one appearance since. He made one start during the shortened 2020 season because of elbow issues and missed all of the 2021 campaign after undergoing surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament Sept. 30, 2020.

The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a seven-year, $131 million contract extension with Jose Berrios, according to multiple reports.

Robbie Ray, Toronto's presumed ace, is a free agent.

The Atlanta Braves have signed Manny Pina to a two-year, $8 million deal.

The catcher will make $3.5 million next season and $4.5 million in 2023. The contract also includes a $4 million club option for 2024 with no buyout.

Pina, 34, hit a career-best 13 home runs in 75 games with the Milwaukee Brewers this past season.

Brent Strom is joining the Arizona Diamondbacks as their new pitching coach, he told the Houston Chronicle on Friday.

Strom, 73, had served as the Houston Astros' pitching coach since 2014 before saying he was leaving the team following its World Series run last season.

He told the Chronicle that he wanted to "start new again" in Arizona.

"I was home for, like, two or three days and got the itch again," Strom said. "People that have been in baseball a long time really never lose that feel. When the Diamondbacks did call, it was exciting."

Giants manager Gabe Kapler has been rewarded with a new contract after a record-setting season during which San Francisco won a franchise-best 107 games and the NL West.

The extension announced Friday runs through the 2024 season. The 46-year-old Kapler has just completed his second season as manager.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Andrew Heaney to a one-year, $8.5 million contract, according to sources.

Heaney, 30, has spent a majority of his career with the crosstown Angels.

T.J. McFarland has agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract to remain with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The reliever, 32, was 4-1 with a 2.56 ERA in 38 games and 38 2/3 innings.

The Houston Astros are bringing back manager Dusty Baker on a one-year deal, the team announced Friday.
