LAD - CHW Trade

[MasterShonuff]

Dodgers receive:

IF Carter Kieboom - [500k in '22, '23]
P Daniel Lynch - [pc na]
OF Josh Lowe - [pc na]
IF Jeremy Pena - [pc na]
P Miguel Yajure - [pc na]

White Sox receive:

IF Alex Bregman - [13.5m in '22]
P Eduardo Rodriguez [5m in '22]



Keeping up with the Dodgers offseason theme of stockpiling young talent who are near MLB ready.  The decision was made to part with the last cornerstone of this team Bregman and another top of the rotation arm in E. Rodriguez and trade them to the White Sox who are built to win now.  I feel the Dodgers was able to acquire again 2 prospects who are currently ranked in the top 100 on most lists in Lowe and Pena.  Lynch only has 68 IP at the major league level and is just 1 offseason removed as being a highly regarded prospect in all of baseball.  Kieboom has had a rough start to his career however showed promising signs late last season and is still only 24 years old who I hope can replace Bregman's position after he recovers from his injury he just recently came down with.  Lastly, Yajure has fallen from the ranks since being traded to the Pirates from the Yankees however he's still only 23 years old and provides the Dodgers with a starter who is projected to earn some starts this season with the Pirates.

Thank you to the White Sox owner for the great talks.  Took a bit of waggling back and forth but thats why they are called negotiations.  Good luck to the White Sox in their run for it all!

White Sox confirm this trade. Moving lowe hurts, and Peña was my starting shortstop. Kieboom, yajure, lynch all have promise and are major league ready. I have extra outfield depth so lowe makes the most sense of my high end prospects. Dodgers get young pc mlb players and White Sox get more proven commodities to help solidify their lineup for a postseason run.

Dodgers were great to negotiate with, appreciate him!
