Much has been made this off-season about the Chicago White Sox needing to address whatever it is they have going on in right field. That was finally the case on Friday when the Southsiders dealt reliever Craig Kimbrel to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for A. J. Pollock.
Pollock, a former Notre Dame star, spent the last three seasons with the Dodgers after signing a four-year deal in 2019. With them he was a member of their 2020 World Series championship and is coming off one of his better seasons where he hit .297 with 21 home runs and 69 RBI. He is expected to play right field for the White Sox despite playing just six games in right field during his career. Being an above average center fielder during his career should erase most concern about that move, however.
Pollock hit 17 home runs in three seasons at Notre Dame from 2007-2009.
