BOSTON (AP) — The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston on Sunday as the Red Sox gave up one of their top pitching prospects to unload most of Hicks’ salary.

The key to the deal for Chicago could be pitching prospect David Sandlin, who has been ranked by Baseball America as the No. 7 prospect and No. 2 pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization. White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Sandlin, a 24-year-old righty who split time last year in Triple-A and Double-A, will compete for a spot in the rotation at spring training.
