The White Sox made another trade Wednesday, adding a minor league infielder to bring the 40-man roster to, well, 40.
Jose Rondon is the newest member of the White Sox after the South Siders shipped cash considerations to the San Diego Padres. Rondon, who was designated for assignment earlier this month, split time between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso in the Padres' system last season.
In 78 games total in the minors last year, Rondon slashed .293/.347/.442 with seven homers and 49 RBIs. He also hit 20 doubles and walked 26 times compared to 62 strikeouts.
Rondon played second base, shortstop and third base in the minors last season.
He has been up to the bigs before, playing in eight games with the Padres in 2016. He got 26 plate appearances in that handful of games, getting three hits.
A native of Venezuela, Rondon was the California League Rookie of the Year and played in the Futures Game in 2014, and he was named a Texas League All Star in 2016.
Here's him turning a double play against the Reds in 2016:
