LaRoche signed a two-year, $25 million contract with the Whits Sox on Friday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. LaRoche had a decent year with the Nationals in 2014, batting .259/.362/.455 with 26 home runs and 92 RBI. He will head to one of the more hitter-friendly ballparks in baseball. He will join Jose Abreu, who will likely serve mainly as the designated hitter, in the middle of the lineup.
