The White Sox are set to acquire right-hander Jordan Hicks from the Red Sox, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. This trade also involves the addition of right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin to the White Sox's roster. In return, the Red Sox will receive right-handed pitching prospect Gage Ziehl and a player to be named later, as per James Fegan of SoxMachine. Chris Cotillo of MassLive reveals that the Red Sox are contributing some cash, while the White Sox will bear the majority of Hicks's salary. Will Sammon of The Athletic specifies that Boston will send $8MM cash to Chicago as part of the deal. This trade marks a strategic move for both teams, with the White Sox strengthening their pitching prospects and the Red Sox acquiring a talented player to be named later.
