Cubs / White Sox trade

[Chicago Cubs]

White Sox get:
Leo Rivas SS LAA - $0.2m prospect
Riley Ferrell P HOU - $0.2m prospect

Jays get:
James Shields $16m/$16mTO/UFA (includes 50% salary coverage for 2018 season)
$7m in additional salary for remainder of 2018 season from the White Sox


Thanks for the deal to the White Sox.  Shields has been solid-enough throughout the season and he'll help to cover some of my injuries and maybe even stick around as my 6th SP if he can continue to be solid.  

[Chicago White Sox]

Accept. CWS receive 2 milb players for an older arm so this is a win win. CWS will cover 50% (8M) salary and also send an additional 8M in salary to the cubs for 2018 only

[Milwaukee Brewers]

this has been docced with one caveat, CHW could only send $7M to cubs as they had already received $3M in a prior deal.  Max is $10M combined, received and sent.

[Chicago Cubs]

No problem at all. I will revise we the trade post from $8m to $7m. Thanks Jerry!
