[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1381701, member: 26283"] It was a signature move of Theo’s when he was with the Red Sox to trade prospects for a player on an expiring contract at the deadline and then get compensatory picks for him when he signed with another team thus restocking the system with prospects. MLB changed those rules the Offseason Theo moved from the Red Sox to the Cubs so that you couldn’t get compensatory picks for a player acquired mid-season. I think you could look at the Wade Davis trade as a slow motion version of that move. Side note - if that draft pick the Cubs get for Jake becomes anything at all, it’ll just add to one of the most lopsided trades in Cubs history. [/QUOTE]
