"The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Juan Pierre from the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor-leaguers and cash, according to major league sources. Of the $18.5 million left on Pierre's contract, the White Sox will pay $3 million in 2010 and $5 million in 2011. Pierre will be Chicago's leadoff hitter and it likely means Scott Podsednik will not return to the South Side. The Dodgers will select two pitching prospects from a list furnished by the White Sox, a source told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. The pitchers on the list are all pitchers who could pitch in the big leagues by 2010, the source said (ESPN)."
The Dodgers have having some financial trouble, and in turn have had a terrible offseason. Juan Pierre actually had a very solid year while filling in for Manny, and he will give the White Sox some speed at the top of the order. The White Sox have a much different looking roster this year. They finally have got rid of a lot of those aging sluggers, but it will be very interesting to see how this team comes together...
