The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms of a three-year, $29-million contract with pitcher Jon Garland, avoiding salary arbitration. Garland, who was eligible to become a free agent after the 2006 season, will earn $7 million next year, $10 million in 2007 and $12 million in 2008. The 26-year-old righthander had a banner 2005 season to help the White Sox capture their first World Series title since 1917. He was 18-10 with a 3.50 earned run average and three shutouts in 32 starts. Garland won his first eight starts and had a 10-game winning streak on the way to his first All-Star Game appearance. He was 13-4 at the break and pitched a scoreless inning at the Mid-Summer Classic. After struggling somewhat in the second half of the season, Garland made two post-season starts. He recorded a complete-game victory in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Angels, helping the White Sox to a 2-1 lead in that series. Then did not figure in the decision of his Game 3 start in the World Series at Houston, allowing four runs -- two earned -- in seven innings. Garland has spent his entire big league career with the White Sox. He has a record of 64-61 with a 4.42 earned run average in 181 games, including 159 starts, in six major league seasons. Joe Crede and Rob Mackowiak are the lone White Sox still eligible for salary arbitration.
