The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers are exchanging a couple of their better prospects, as left-handed hitting Triple-A infielder Michael Busch and reliever Yency Almonte are headed to Chicago in exchange for Class A pitcher Jackson Ferris and outfielder Zyhir Hope, it was announced Thursday.
Busch, who was ranked sixth among Dodgers prospects by ESPN's Kiley McDaniel, and Ferris, who was rated 14th in the Cubs system, are the key components in the deal.
Busch, 26, hit 27 home runs for Triple-A Oklahoma City last season while also appearing in 27 major league games for the Dodgers.
