WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Paul DeJong would earn all of his $600,000 in available performance bonuses if he has 550 plate appearances this year. A former All-Star infielder, DeJong agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract that was announced Sunday. He would earn $100,000 each for 200, 300, 400, 450, 500 and 550 plate appearances. An All-Star in 2019, DeJong hit .227 with 24 homers and 56 RBIs last year for the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City, which acquired him on July 30.
