White Sox Acquire Jason Bourgeois
By Jeff Todd | May 16, 2016 at 8:04pm CDT

The White Sox have acquired outfielder Jason Bourgeois from the Diamondbacks, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com was among those to report on Twitter. Cash considerations will go back to Arizona in the swap.

Bourgeois, 34, has seen MLB action in each of the last eight campaigns, twice topping 200 plate appearances in a single season. He did that last year for the Reds, slashing just .240/.294/.332 with three home runs and three stolen bases.

With the move, Chicago adds another depth option in the outfield. Bourgeois has spent most of his big league time in center, but has also played both corner positions. While the Sox are off to a nice start, the club has received underwhelming contributions from regular center fielder Austin Jackson and several bench players.

The speedy Bourgeois was off to a sturdy .356/.385/.442 start in his first 109 plate appearances at Triple-A after joining the D-Backs as a minor league free agent. But he was passed over for a promotion when the team recently brought up Michael Bourn.

Not sure what that has to do with baseball.

Can't wait for Steve to tell Sox nation that he isn't Mickey Mantle.

Classic short side of platoon depth guy. If he's playing regularly on your major league team, your team sucks. But as a #5 OF he's fine.

Rick is the only person I trust around here to objectively assess moves like this. Fair and balanced- BRick.
