The White Sox are hoping a change of scenery is exactly what one of MLB's former top prospects needs.
On Friday, the White Sox announced they have claimed infielder Alen Hanson off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Hanson, who was designated for assignment by the Pirates on June 2, was ranked in numerous publications as a Top 100 prospect in baseball from 2013-2015.

In 64 games across two seasons with the Pirates, Hanson has a slash line of .205/.239/.261 with 13 runs and four stolen bases.
Hanson, a native of the Dominican Republic, has a career minor-league slash line of .281/.340/.435 with 53 home runs, 316 RBI, 442 runs and 205 stolen bases.
