The Chicago White Sox have called a news conference at 11:45 to announce they have acquired infielder/outfielder Mark Teahen and cash considerations from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for infielders Chris Getz and Josh Fields.

Teahen, 28, hit .271 (142-524) with a career-high 34 doubles, 12 home runs and 50 RBI in 144 games with the Royals in 2009. He made 99 starts at third base, 31 in right field and three at second.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder is a career .269 (667-2,480) hitter with 146 doubles, 24 triples, 59 home runs and 293 RBI in 676 career games, all with Kansas City (2005-09).

He was named the Royals Player of the Year in 2006 after establishing career bests in average (.290), home runs (18) and RBI (69).

The Daily Herald will have more following today's conference call with White Sox general manager Ken Williams.
