The Cincinnati Reds have sent infielder Neftali Soto to the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations. Which means they sold his rights to them. Soto was dropped from the 40-man roster in the offseason. He has struggled in limited big league action, often being used as a pinch hitter once or twice a week when he has been with the big league club. He had a good season in Triple-A last year for the Louisville Bats. He went down and changed up his approach, cutting his strikeout rate big time while hitting .302/.350/.406.
Defensively he’s spent time at first base and third base for the most part in his career and he can handle either position. He’s also spent some time behind the plate, though he’s never played there in the big leagues and his time has been limited in minor league and spring training action.
