GLENDALE, Ariz. — The White Sox acquired outfielder Adam Haseley from the Phillies in a minor trade Tuesday, sending right-handed pitching prospect McKinley Moore to Philadelphia.
Haseley, 25, started in center field and batted eighth in the Phillies Opening Day lineup last season but appeared in only nine games before leaving the team for personal reasons on April 15. He appeared to have an outside shot at making the Phillies Opening Day roster this season.
A left-handed hitter and thrower, Haseley owns a .264/.322/.373 hitting line over three seasons, appearing in 160 games with 355 plate appearances and playing all three outfield positions. He was drafted eighth overall in the 2017 draft, three selections ahead of White Sox first-rounder Jake Burger.
Moore, a hard-thrower posted a 4.20 ERA between Advance A Winston-Salem and Low-A Kannapolis with high strikeout and walk rates, was ranked 28th per MLB Pipeline among White Sox prospects.
The Sox outfield received a blow Sunday when Adam Vaughn was sidelined with a hip pointer, and Haseley adds to their depth chart. Defensively, Haseley would probably fall behind Luis Robert and Adam Engel and ahead of the remaining Sox outfield core that includes Eloy Jimenez, converted first basemen Vaughn and Gavin Sheets and Leury Garcia.
