The Chicago White Sox are acquiring veteran right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks and right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin in a trade with the Boston Red Sox, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
The deal sends Hicks, a seasoned veteran known for his high-velocity arsenal, to the South Side. Joining him in the move is Sandlin, a right-handed prospect who has been developing through the minor league system. The acquisition provides the White Sox with a blend of immediate major league experience and long-term pitching depth.
As of the time of the report, the specific players or compensation heading back to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for the two pitchers have not been disclosed. The trade is expected to be finalized pending the standard review of medical records for the athletes involved.
Hicks has long been recognized as one of the premier power arms in baseball, while Sandlin represents a significant addition to Chicago's pipeline of young talent. This transaction marks a notable shift for both clubs as they address their roster needs.
