"It's more about the individual player than anything with regards to where the big league club is right now," Hahn says.
The promotion of White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada is the beginning of the first phase, not some signal that it's time to compete for anything.
Moncada made his anticipated White Sox debut Wednesday night.
Kike Hernandez had two home runs to lead the surging Dodgers to a 9-1 victory.
The White Sox brass is sure this is the time for Moncada to shine.
Moncada will make his White Sox debut on Wednesday night in Chicago.
"We believe he will be an impact hitter who will stay in center field," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn says of Rutherford.
"We're bringing him here to continue the development that needs to take place in Chicago," general manager Rick Hahn says.
Wednesday marks a day to be happy amid the series of demolitions going on with the rebuilding White Sox.
Moncada will make his debut in a White Sox uniform on Wednesday night in Chicago.
The White Sox bundled three key pieces to the Yankees to get the talented Blake Rutherford and others.
Moncada is batting .282 with 12 homers, 36 RBIs, 57 runs and a .377 on-base percentage in 80 games at Triple-A Charlotte.
