White Sox receive: Joey Gallo 3B TEX - 0.52/1.04/2.08/ARB/ARB/ARB/UFA Isael Soto CF MIA - 0.2 prospect Jose Rosario SP CHC - 0.2 prospect
Cubs receive: Lewis Brinson CF MIL - 0.2 prospect Kyle Lewis RF SEA - 0.2 prospect TJ Zeuch SP TOR - 0.2 prospect Dakota Hudson SP STL - 0.2 prospect
This trades marks the start of a bit of a retool/rebuild for the Cubs. Gallo has been one our top offensive players all season and at the age of 23 with a TC1 contract, he has the potential to be a big power point producer for years to come. But with Machado and Rendon ahead of him on the Cubs depth chart at 3B, Gallo is the odd man out. I had originally been looking for MLB talent in exchange for Gallo, but couldn't pass on the opportunity to add both Brinson and Lewis to the Cubs future OF that already boast Braun, Eaton and Renfroe. Both Zeuch and Hudson have great potential to join the Cubs future rotation as well. Thanks for the trade and best of luck to the White Sox.

Gallo presents a top young MLB talent that is producing now and for years to come. It was tough giving up 2 SP prospects and 2 top 50 overall prospects for Gallo and middle prospects but the long term edge is with the sox as he's proved this season
