US EditionWhite Sox Acquire Right-Hander Jordan Hicks From Boston for Prospect Gage Ziehl
- On Sunday, the Boston Red Sox traded right-handers Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin to the Chicago White Sox for minor-league right-hander Gage Ziehl and players to be named later, the clubs announced.

- Ziehl, 22-year-old minor-leaguer, logged a 4.12 ERA in 107 minor-league innings over 22 appearances, including 21 starts, in his pro debut season.
- The White Sox report to Camelback Ranch next week with a Feb 20 opener, integrating Hicks and Sandlin after the trade cleared two 40-man roster spots for Boston.
- Looking ahead to 2026, Boston gains payroll flexibility and could move Masataka Yoshida or Patrick Sandoval in the coming weeks, while Ziehl remains a potential debut candidate.
