The Chicago White Sox received a solid return in the trade of Adam Eaton to the Washington Nationals this past offseason. The return featured three pitchers who were all regarded as top prospects in the Nationals farm system.
Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Dane Dunning were included in return to the Sox in exchange for Eaton. Giolito and Lopez were the headliners as they both had experience pitching with the Nationals. The wild card was Dunning, a 2016 first round (29th overall) draft pick of the Nationals. Dunning didn’t have much experience pitching professionally as he appeared in just seven games for Class A Short Season Auburn Doubledays in 2016.
