Chicago gets OF/DH Nelson Cruz 11,500,000 2020 (Pittsbugh retaining 5,750,000)
Pittsburgh gets 1B Pablo Sandoval 600,000 2020 SP Tanner Rainey $600,000 2024 RP Zack Burdi
With Brantley on the 10 day, i need a guy to fill in and cruz is gonna be a great player to have during the playoffs.. Getting rid of both Rainey and Burdi was hard but cruz has been killing it at dh this year... I accept and good luck to pittsburgh

Reasoning: With my team not looking good for the playoffs and Cruz becoming a free agent I was looking to move him. I like both Rainey and Burdi (former 1st round pick who is now healthy) to be good cheap RP for me for the next few seasons which I do need. Sandoval was a throw in to open up a 40 man roster spot. Pirates accept....Good Luck to the White Sox.

Surprised Cruz only went for two relievers, despite his being a rental and needing the Utility position to play he's a difference-making hitter, while most relievers to me are less valuable than everyday players and upper-tier starting pitchers.
This deal would swing closer to even if Rainey or Burdi (perhaps both) become closers at some point in their contract though, since having just a couple makes a big difference in saves. I'm not sure I see it with Burdi unless he harnesses his control while Rainey's made seemingly steady progress and is a good setup guy atm but we'll see what happens if he gets a closer shot.
