After a lot of rumors and not many moves at the Winter Meetings, the White Sox made a notable trade after everyone left Las Vegas.
The White Sox traded for first baseman Yonder Alonso from Cleveland. The team announced the move on Saturday.
“Alonso provides a proven offensive performer from the left side of the plate and he also brings a veteran presence both on and off the field,” White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said in a press release. “Yonder has a solid reputation around the league as a professional and a great teammate.”
Now that the trade is official, one thing worth noting with Alonso is that he is the brother-in-law of Manny Machado.
