"Relief pitcher Jordan Hicks is being traded to the White Sox, according to multiple reports ( first noted by ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan). Boston is also sending right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin to Chicago. In return, the Red Sox are reportedly getting minor league pitcher Gage Ziehl, per MassLive's Chris Cotillo (who also reported that Boston will send " some cash " to Chicago as part of the move)."
"Hicks, 29, had been a part of a 2025 blockbuster, when the Red Sox acquired him along with Kyle Harrison, James Tibbs III, and Jose Bello in exchange for slugger Rafael Devers. The controversial decision to trade Devers drew most of the attention at the time, but Hicks was one of the higher profile players in Boston's return for Devers."
Jordan Hicks is being traded to the White Sox while the Red Sox are sending right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin to Chicago. Boston is set to receive minor league pitcher Gage Ziehl and will send some cash as part of the transaction. Chris Cotillo characterized the move as a salary move; Hicks is scheduled to earn $12.5 million in 2026 and has one remaining contract year in 2027. Hicks, 29, originally joined Boston in 2025 as part of the Rafael Devers trade. Hicks struggled in Boston, posting an 8.20 ERA in 18.2 innings in 2025. If completed, this would be the 13th Red Sox trade of the offseason.
