GERMAN HEADS TO THE WHITE SOX

The Chicago White Sox acquired pitcher Franklin German from the Boston Red Sox for pitcher Theo Denlinger.

What does it give the Chicago White Sox
German is a talented, inconsistent reliever with a good arm. He should get an opportunity to crack Chicago's roster in spring training.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox recently designated German for assignment, so they did well to land a future asset in pitching prospect Denlinger.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as German will be in a battle for his roster spot with the White Sox, and Denlinger is off the radar for now.
