How the Yonder Alonso trade affects five current, future and potential members of the 2019 White Sox

Yonder Alonso is on the White Sox.

Rick Hahn pulled the trigger on that trade with the division-rival Cleveland Indians over the weekend, following up a rumor-filled week in Las Vegas with a significant move that adds a middle-of-the-order hitter to a needy White Sox lineup.

Alonso was an All Star in 2017 before a significant dip in his numbers last season. But if he can recapture some of that 2017 magic — particularly the part that saw him finish that season with a .365 on-base percentage — he'll be a nice upgrade while splitting time with Jose Abreu at first base and designated hitter.
