White Sox pick up Garcia's option

It is reported that the White Sox exercised their 2010 option on right-hander Freddy Garcia, who will make a $1 million base salary, plus a possible $2 million in incentives. Garcia, who signed a Minor League contract after being released by the Mets in April, spent most of the summer in the Minors working on a comeback from 2008 shoulder surgery.

In his last season on Saturday, Garcia gave up one run with seven strikeouts in seven-plus innings against the Tigers.
