Chicago ships out the infielder for a lottery ticket and loose change
Lenyn Sosa’s time on the South Side ends after flashes of power but no clear role. | (Tanner Gatlin/Getty Images) The White Sox pulled the trigger on another early-season shuffle, packing off Lenyn Sosa to Toronto for outfielder Jordan Rich and the usual bag of mystery cash or future guy. The Chicago White Sox have acquired minor-league outfielder Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash considerations from Toronto in exchange for infielder Lenyn Sosa.
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) April 13, 2026 Sosa, 26, leaves the South Side after five seasons of fits and starts. Signed as a kid out of Venezuela in 2016, up for air in 2022, and never quite sticking. He flashed some pop but never found a glove that fit and got lost in the White Sox infield traffic jam.
He finally broke out in 2025: . 264 average, 22 bombs, 75 driven in over 140 games. Not bad.
But 2026? Back to the bench, just 12 games, squeezed out as the Sox tried every other infield flavor. Now he heads north, a Band-Aid for the Blue Jays with Addison Barger shelved.
