The rival Cubs and White Sox strike another deal!
White Sox receive:
Bobby Bradley 1B CLE - prospect
Alec Mills SP CHC - prospect
Franklin Gutierrez RF LAD - 2.6/UFA
Cubs receive:
Hunter Renfroe RF SD - 0.51/1.02/2.04/ARB/ARB/ARB/UFA
The devastating loss of Adam Eaton for the season left a sizeable hole in the Cubs lineup in RF. So it was time to dip into the farm once again to make a move. Renfroe is off to a rough start to the season but I still like his longterm potential. Hopefully he can be added MLB depth in RF for this season and eventually take over as our fulltime RF in the future. The loss of the ultra powerful Bradley hurts but he was blocked at 1B by Rizzo in the Cubs organization so he was an expendable piece to make this deal happen. Thanks to the White Sox for the deal.
