As for Whittaker, he will be donning a new uniform for the first time in his career, but he’s already making waves in Chicago. “I’m excited to join the White Sox and be a part of this talented team,” he said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to contributing to their success and helping them win a championship.”
The trade is sure to have significant implications for both teams, as they navigate the final stretch of the season. One thing is certain: Whittaker’s departure will leave a huge void in Kansas City’s lineup
