Brewers acquire infielder Saladino from White Sox

Published

CHICAGO -- Outfielder Trayce Thompson was sold by the Oakland Athletics to the Chicago White Sox, who sold infielder Tyler Saladino to the Milwaukee Brewers.



Originally drafted by the Houston Astros in 2009, the 28-year-old Saladino was 2 for 8 with a double for the White Sox this season. He hit .231/.281/.330 in 246 career major-league games, all with Chicago.

The 27-year-old Thompson will be joining his fourth team this year. He went to spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then he was claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees on April 3 and by Oakland two days later. He was 1 for 7 in three games with the A's. Thompson is the younger brother of Golden State's Klay Thompson and a son of former NBA player Mychal Thompson.

Oakland also optioned right-hander Lou Trivino to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
