Dodgers receive: P C.C. Sabathia P AJ Burnett P Bronson Arroyo P Rafael Soriano $10 Mil in cash this year
White Sox receive: P Aaron Jensen (A) OF Mike Wagner (AA) LA 1st Round pick next year
This is a big deal for me but it was time for a big change. I gut my minors a bit with this deal especially because Jensen is a top prospect in the league. But I like that I finally get the pitching depth I need and only give up 1 very good prospect and two possibly strong prospects. Good luck White Sox.

Love the deal for the White Sox. They get a future staff ace as well as a great outfielder with good range at left that should make him another 5 star prospect. The 1st round pick depends on how deep the draft is next year but so far it seems like it should be in the top 10. The Dodgers get 2 overpaid pitchers in Arroyo and Burnett, but it does bring them depth and should make them a better MLB team. However these aren't great pitchers and i don't know if it would be enough to compete in the West. Overall good deal for two teams who are going in different directions.

James did you make this deal or did someone else? Jk. Like nanz said, I love this deal for James. Sox get to dump salary (paying 10M was a bit much but Sox has tons of cash) and bring in outstanding young talent. I see the Dodgers reasoning in getting 3 decent pitchers, however it will still be very tough to compete in the NL West. Hopefully these guys will fare better in LA than they did in Chicago. Good trade on both sides.

hopefully jensen pans out for you james. You get two solid guys to add to your farm, then add another first. Two top 10 picks in the draft? Pretty good stuff.
