Royals and White Sox Make a Deal

The Chicago White Sox have acquired left-handed reliever Andrew Sisco from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for first baseman/outfielder Ross Gload.

Sisco, 23 (turns 24 on January 13), has gone 3-8 with one save and a 4.85 ERA (72 ER/133.2 IP) in 132 games over the last two seasons with the Royals. The 6-foot-10, 270-pounder was 2-5 with a 3.11 ERA in 67 games in 2005 before going 1-3 with a 7.10 ERA in 65 games last year. He has struck out 128 hitters in 133.2 career IP (8.6 per 9.0 IP).

Sisco was originally chosen by the Chicago Cubs in the second round of the June 2001 draft and was a Rule 5 selection by the Royals in December 2004.

Gload, 30, batted .327 (51-156) with three home runs and 18 RBI in 77 games with the White Sox in 2006. Over three seasons with the Sox, he has hit .308 (133-432) with 10 home runs and 67 RBI. Gload also has appeared in the major leagues with the Cubs (2000) and Colorado (2002).
