White Sox exercised Jason Frasor's $3.75 million option for 2012.

Frasor, 34, posted an ugly 5.09 ERA in 17 2/3 innings after joining the Sox in the three-team deal with the Blue Jays and Cardinals prior to the deadline, but he's an established setup man with a career 3.74 ERA over eight major league seasons. With Chris Sale moving to the rotation, Frasor and Matt Thornton should form a nice bridge to closer Sergio Santos in 2012.

Jason Frasor hopes his $3.75 million option for 2012 is picked up by the White Sox.

Frasor holds a 4.02 ERA and 1.60 WHIP since joining the Sox in the three-team deal with the Blue Jays and Cardinals prior to the deadline, but he has struck out 20 over 15 2/3 innings. He has a 3.62 ERA and 8.8 K/9 rate over this year. "I’m very comfortable here now,’’ said Frasor. "It was hard changing teams, especially in the middle of the year. Coming to my home city, these six weeks have been great.’’
