The Chicago White Sox' busy Saturday continued with another trade. After reportedly sending Gregory Santos to the Seattle Mariners, Chris Getz swapped prospects with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The White Sox are reportedly sending pitcher Cristian Mena to Arizona in exchange for outfielder Dominic Fletcher.

White Sox made another trade, per ESPN sources: They're getting outfielder Dominic Fletcher from the Arizona Diamondbacks for right-hander Cristian Mena. Between Fletcher and DeLoach, they've added to an outfield that was sorely lacking in depth.

Mena, a 21-year-old right-hander, spent three seasons in the White Sox organization. He compiled a 4.97 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 10.81 K/9 in 286.1 innings across 64 games during that span. Mena spent most of 2023 with Double-A Birmingham before a brief stint with Triple-A Charlotte.

White Sox Return: Dominic Fletcher

Fletcher provides the White Sox with MLB-ready left-handed outfield depth.

The 26-year-old made his big-league debut in 2023 and slashed .301/.350/.441 with two home runs and 14 RBIs across 102 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks. He also appeared in 66 games with Triple-A Reno and slashed .291/.399/.500 with 10 home runs and 45 RBIs across 278 plate appearances.

Fletcher finished the 2023 season as Arizona's No. 11-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline.
