The Boston Red Sox have traded relief pitcher Jordan Hicks to the Chicago White Sox, according to reports from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and Jeff Passan of ESPN. The deal is reportedly structured as a prospect swap between the two American League clubs.
Jordan Hicks, a hard-throwing right-hander known for his elite velocity, joins a White Sox bullpen looking to add veteran depth. Per Jeff Passan, the move involves multiple prospects returning to Boston, though the specific names included in the package have not yet been finalized or announced. The trade was first reported by Passan and further detailed by Rosenthal and Will Sammon.
The departure of Hicks marks a significant change for the Red Sox relief corps. The White Sox, meanwhile, acquire a high-leverage arm as they continue to reshape their roster through the trade market. Both teams are expected to provide official confirmation once medical reviews are completed for all players involved in the transaction.
