White Sox acquire INF Gage Workman in a trade with the Cubs
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Chicago White Sox acquired infielder Gage Workman in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The White Sox sent cash to the Cubs for Workman, who was designated for assignment on Wednesday. Infielder Nick Maton was designated for assignment by the South Siders to make room on their roster. '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. Some defensive versatility. So you can see him against some right hand pitching. You can see him come off the bench and run, come off the bench and play defense. So, yeah, excited to see what he can do.' Workman, 25, was a Rule 5 draft pick from Detroit in December. Under the major league portion of the Rule 5 draft, the players must stay on the big league roster all of next season or clear waivers and be offered back to their original organization for $50,000. Workman appeared in nine games with the NL Central-leading Cubs, going 3 for 14 with two RBIs. '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. In a lot of ways you could say he did not get the appropriate opportunity. We couldn't give him that opportunity.' The White Sox were last in the AL Central with a 6-20 record heading into their game at the Athletics. Workman was selected by the Tigers in the fourth round of the 2020 amateur draft out of Arizona State. He hit .248 with 57 homers and 263 RBIs in the minor leagues. ___ AP MLB:

White Sox acquire INF Gage Workman from Cubs
April 26 - The Chicago White Sox acquired infielder Gage Workman from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon for cash considerations. The 25-year-old rookie posted three hits in 14 at-bats this season before the Cubs designated him for assignment Wednesday. To make room on the active roster, the White Sox designated veteran infielder Nick Maton for assignment. The Cubs picked up the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Workman during MLB's Rule 5 draft in December. They were enticed by Workman's .280 batting average, 18 homers and 89 RBIs in 126 games last season at Double-A for the Detroit Tigers. Workman collected one double and two RBIs in nine games for the Cubs. He appeared at third base seven times and shortstop twice. The 28-year-old Maton played in 23 of the White Sox's 26 games this season and produced a .173/.295/.327 slash line that featured home runs on March 30 and April 1. He was on a three-game hitting streak. The trade was the second between the White Sox and Cubs in the last five months. The Cubs sent catcher Matt Thaiss to the White Sox in December for cash.
