Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees
Tolleson is often identified with the brief, disappointing tenure of Ken Harrelson as general manager of the Chicago White Sox, due to his involvement in two of Harrelson's iconic trades. On November 25, 1985, the Rangers traded Tolleson and relief pitcher Dave Schmidt to the White Sox in exchange for shortstops Scott Fletcher and José Mota and pitching prospect Ed Correa. He was a member of the White Sox for only a few months, as Chicago sent him to the New York Yankees in another deal on July 30, 1986. In addition to Tolleson, the White Sox shipped out former All-Star Ron Kittle and backup catcher Joel Skinner, acquiring first baseman/third baseman Carlos Martínez and catchers Ron Hassey and Bill Lindsey. Tolleson spent the rest of his career as a reserve for the Yankees, retiring in 1990.
