Chicago sends: Addison Russell CHC 17:$0.5M, 18:$1M, 19:$2M, 20:$3M (Pre-Arb) 2018 6th round Minors pick (my Chicago Cub Sox slotted pick, not the 6th rounder I acquired from Pittsburgh in an earlier trade)
Pittsburgh sends: Adam Duvall CIN 17:$0.5M Luis Escobar PIT - prospect
Cub Sox still trying to add some thump to our current lineup. Duvall's 1-year contract really makes this a 2017 rental. The gamble for me costs the young star Russell who's under control for 3 more seasons after 2017. J asked me to throw in a 6th round pick which I was happy to do since he was able to include the talented young Future Star Escobar in the deal.

Accept. Tried to deal from an area of depth in the OF to add at the MI spot. Hated losing Duvall, but felt it was worth it to add Russell on the longer term deal.
I think Scott got a good one in Escobar, but with injury and failure rates it is a gamble with the pitchers.
All in all, good talks and quick deal in place.
