Back in 2015, Trayce Thompson was a fan favorite on the South Side. Then he was traded to the Dodgers. Well, now he is heading back to Chicago once again after the White Sox struck a deal with Oakland for cash considerations.
Thompson is a career .232 hitter with 19 home runs, 50 RBI, and 55 runs scored with the White Sox, Dodgers, and Athletics. Judging how the White Sox season has gone so far, it’s safe to say that he will get an opportunity to play.
Furthermore, the White Sox also traded fan favorite Tyler Saladino to Milwaukee for cash considerations. So basically they get the cash considerations they used for Thompson back after the Saladino trade. With Leury Garcia taking the role of the utility infielder, it left no where for Saladino to play.
