Cabrera batted .301 with 16 home runs and 73 RBI in 2014 for the Toronto Blue Jays. The White Sox will be Cabrera's sixth different team since 2009. The 30-year-old started his career with the New York Yankees, making his debut in 2005 and spending five years there.
In 2012, Cabrera was suspended 50 games for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Earlier that season, he was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
