Texas sends:
Lourdes Gurriel Jr, MI TOR (minors) Chris Paddack P SDP (minors) Andres Giminez SS NYM (minors)
To Chicago for:
Anthony Rizzo 1B CHC 18:7M 19:11M 20:14.5M 21:14.5M
This nets me a slugger who I believe will return to form soon. Last couple of years my team has lagged in power and primarily I think it was due to not having production from a critical spot like 1B. Good 1Bs are hard to get at reasonable prices so I felt that getting one in a down year was my best option.
Chicago to confirm.

I agree. Rizzo has been a nice foundation for me and certainly helped me to the 2017 title. 2018 is a down year as Alex mentioned so he was a nice buy low candidate for Texas. I love Paddack and Iove Gimenez as prospects coming up. Gurriel is a key to this deal for me. I like him a lot and he's been performing well of late. Just hope he continues to put up numbers in the majors and hold onto PT. He's versatile at several positions and will be immediately called up and play for $0 this season. Good luck to us both.
