Wow, OK, Rick Hahn has rubbed two coins together in his pocket for good luck, and come away with two strong pieces for the stretch run.
Earlier today, it was César Hernández from Cleveland for Konnor Pilkington, in what looks to be a pretty fair, win-win deal on both sides.
Hahn quickly followed that with a deal that doesn’t look so fair, even for a rental: right-handed reliever Ryan Tepera from the Cubs for 2020 draft pick Bailey Horn. Given a much higher anticipated prospect cost for a very solid reliever in Tepera, this one looks like an immediate win for Hahn and the White Sox.
