More Oakland A’s baseball today! Friday brings the Chicago White Sox to town for some exhibition spring action.
One of these teams made a trade today, and it wasn’t the A’s. Rather, the White Sox made a high-profile swap including a couple star veterans. Chicago picked up outfielder A.J. Pollock, and in exchange they sent reliever Craig Kimbrel to the Dodgers to help fill Los Angeles’ closer role. Their pricey salaries more or less offset each other.
Minutes later, the White Sox announced that reliever Garrett Crochet will likely need Tommy John surgery.
