NEW: The Dodgers have sent outfielder AJ Pollock to the White Sox in exchange for eight-time All-Star reliever Craig Kimbrel.
The 33-year-old right-hander was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2011. He led the league in saves from 2011 to 2014. Kimbrel ranks ninth all-time in the majors with 372 saves as he begins his 13th season.
Craig Kimbrel of the Chicago White Sox pitches against the Houston Astros at Guaranteed Rate Field on Oct. 12, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois. Kimbrel fulfills the Dodgers' need for a shutdown option late in games, especially with the departure of 10-year closer Kenley Jansen, who signed a one-year deal with the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves.
Pollock hit .282 with 65 home runs and 199 RBIs in three seasons with the Dodgers. The 34-year-old outfielder's best season came last year, when he batted. .297 with 21 homers and 69 RBIs in 117 games.© 2022 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
