The Chicago White Sox acquired veteran right-hander Jordan Hicks and pitching prospect David Sandlin in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, continuing to reallocate the money they saved in the Luis Robert Jr. trade.

Though Hicks is the most notable name in the deal -- the Red Sox received Class A right-hander Gage Ziehl -- Chicago values Sandlin more and was willing to take on a majority of Hicks' salary to facilitate the trade, sources told ESPN.

"We wanted to utilize that money toward players that can help us for the long term," White Sox general manager Chris Getz said of the $20 million cleared by sending Robert to the New York Mets in January.
