[Blue Jays GM (Alfie)]

Jays trade:

Cavan Biggio, MI/CI, TOR ($2.8M/ arb 2, arb 3)
Reece McGuire, C, BOS ($1.225 / arb 2, arb 3)
Noah Miller, MI, MIN (protected)
Dasan Brown, OF, TOR (protected)

White Sox trade:

Dauri Moreta, RP, PIT (protected)
Jovani Moran, RP, MIN (protected)
Alex Faedo, SP, DET, DET ($850,000, $850,000/ arbitration)
Victor Caratini, C, DET $2.8M

Rationale

I am looking to build pitching depth for the coming years. Both Moreta and Moran are interesting bullpen arms that hopefully will provide solid middle relief innings. Faedo may develop into a back end starter. Biggio and McGuire are useful pieces but do not fit long term. I have enough prospect depth to move Miller and Brown in this deal. This came together fairly easy, good to deal with Jason for the first time. Good luck to the White Sox in the coming season. Over to Jason to confirm

[White Sox GM (Jason)]

I'm still a believer in Biggio to return to his 2019 form, and that was the main driving force behind this swap. To me, while Moreta and Moran are interesting arms, they're a dime a dozen and completely replaceable. Getting the right prospects in return helped seal the deal.

Good dealing with the team up north!
