Redsox / Cubs trade

[Boston Red Sox]

Redsox and Cubs agree to the following:

Redsox recieve Andrew Cashner 17/10 18/ufa.

Cubs recieve Blake Swihart 17/1.04 18 tc3

Redsox agree to this trade as we need Mlb pitching now and feel Swihart will not be helping this year. We would like to thank the Cubs for our dealings.

[Chicago Cubs]

Thanks for the deal. I had an extra SP to move and I like Swihart's age, potential and contract. Could be a steal if he can get/stay healthy and start to show some of his offensive potential over the next year or two.
