The White Sox and Cubs pulled off a minor trade on Saturday, with Jeb Hoyer and the North Siders trading infielder Gage Workman to their crosstown rivals for cash considerations.
The 25-year-old infielder turned heads in Spring Training after slashing .364/.420/.705 with four homers and 15 RBIs. But the Rule-5 draft pick out of Detroit failed to replicate that success, going 3-for-14 with a pair of RBIs before getting let go after nine games. He also struggled defensively at third base, committing two errors in four starts at the hot corner.
While Workman was grateful for his opportunity on the Northside, he is eager to face his former team.
“Grateful for my time with the Cubs and good people over there,” Workman told the Chicago Tribune. “But now I’m here with the White Sox and I’m excited to be here and now I want to beat the Cubs.”
