CHICAGO — Seeing AJ Pollock in the black and white of the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called it “a tough day” this spring when the Dodgers traded the popular Pollock for closer Craig Kimbrel.
“AJ helped us win a championship. He’s very well-liked in the clubhouse and organization and to trade him was tough for everyone,” Roberts said. “We’re looking forward to seeing AJ and saying hello.”
Roberts wasn’t so happy seeing Pollock come off the bench later that night and drive in two runs with a pinch-hit double off David Price, the key hit in a four-run sixth inning that lifted the White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Dodgers in the opener of the interleague series.
