CHICAGO (AP) -- Mark Teahen has a new team and a new city. Happily for him, he's got his old position back.
The Kansas City Royals sent Teahen to the White Sox on Friday and Chicago will find a home for him at third base.
"That's really my comfort position," Teahen said. "It's huge. The past three years I haven't known where I'm going to play and the past 24 hours I haven't know what city I'm going to play in."
The Royals got Chris Getz and Josh Fields from the White Sox in exchange.
Teahen was established at third base in Kansas City, but three years ago the Royals called up Alex Gordon, who'd been the No. 2 overall draft pick two years earlier.

Thus began a trip around the diamond for Teahen and he never really settled in at any position.
Teahen batted .271 with a 12 home runs and 50 RBIs in 144 games with the Royals in 2009, battling a sore back in the final month of the season.
