The White Sox are close to acquiring third baseman Brett Lawrie, according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle.
Susan Slusser reports that the White Sox would acquire Lawrie for a pair of minor leaguers.
The White Sox have been aggressively pursuing a third baseman at this week's winter meetings, and have also been linked to Asdrubal Cabrera.
“We think there are some avenues to go down to get better at third base,” Hahn said yesterday. “It’s obviously a position of need and any freely available talent that could potentially help us, we have checked it.”
Last year Lawrie hit .260 with 16 home runs and 60 RBIs in 149 games for the Oakland A's.
