CHW/MIN trade

[White Sox GM (Jason)]

White Sox send:

• LHP Carlos Rodon (FA) — $4,500,000
• RHP Jonathan Stiever (CHW) — MiLB
• OF Luis Mieses (CHW) — MiLB

to the Twins for:

• RHP Lance Lynn (CHW) — $8,000,000

Wanted to use some of my prospect capital to get another high-end, cost-reasonable arm to make a run this year and Lynn provides that value. Have been relatively high on Stiever, but there are some underlying concerns (significant RPM dip on breaking ball), limited ceiling, etc.

Accept, wanted to add a younger more cost controlled starter with stiever and take a chance on rodon having an unlikely bounce back and a prospect to take a shot in the dark at
