The Chicago White Sox traded cash to acquire infielder Gage Workman from the Chicago Cubs, who designated him for assignment. White Sox manager Will Venable expressed excitement about Workman's athleticism and potential contributions both offensively and defensively. Workman, a Rule 5 pick, struggled to secure his place with the Cubs due to team expectations, having only played nine games this season. The White Sox, currently last in the AL Central, hope to leverage Workman's talent to boost their struggling roster after a dismal start with a 6-20 record.
Really excited about the athlete," White Sox manager Will Venable said of Workman. "Some pop on the left side of the plate, and excited to see what he can do.
He was in a tough spot," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. "I think Rule 5 picks are always in a tough spot, especially on this team, on kind of the expectations of this team.
