CHW receives: Justin Bour 1B MIA - $1.08/$2.16/ARB1/ARB2/ARB3/UFA Kyle Lewis RF SEA - Prospect (#29) Kevin Newman SS PIT - Prospect (#59) AJ Puk SP OAK - Prospect (#69)
CHC receives: Anthony Rizzo 1B CHC - $7/$7/$11/$14.5TO/$14.5TO/UFA
Reason for trade: This is definitely a blockbuster move between Chicago teams. I never expected to be moving so much top prospect capital so early but I've been after a star Cub's player for awhile and Rizzo vaults my team into win-now mode. Those were some tough prospects to give up in order to upgrade from Bour to Rizzo, but I've built a top prospect stockpile and this seems like a good way to put it to use. Thanks for the deal commish.

Accept.
Rizzo wasn't even available until I received an offer and a counter later this is the final product. I am thrilled to get Lewis, as I stated in the Hamels trade with my future outfield setup.
Puk has also been playing well in spring training. All in all a cheaper 1B with some power pop to him for a slight downgrade at first and three top 100 prospects who are top of their respective teams lists?! Easy!
