CHICAGO -- The Kansas City Royals acquired shortstop Paul DeJong from the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, adding infield depth to a playoff contender, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN.

Class A pitcher Jarold Rosado will head to the White Sox to complete the deal, a source said later Tuesday.

DeJong, 30, has 18 home runs in 102 games for Chicago after signing a 1-year, $1.75 million deal last offseason. He's played mainly at shortstop -- a position occupied by Bobby Witt Jr on the Royals -- but recently has seen time at third base as well.
