Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Dane Dunning - Nats give up a haul

Just a day after they traded away ace Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox, they made another move by sending Adam Eaton to the Washington Nationals.

The White Sox traded outfielder Adam Eaton to the Washington Nationals for top pitching prospect Lucas Giolito and two other right-handed starters, a person with direct knowledge of the trade told USA TODAY Sports. In return for Eaton, the Nationals sent right-handed pitchers Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopezand Dane Dunning to Chicago.

The addition of Eaton means the Nationals can put him in center field and shift top prospect and National League Rookie of the Year runner-up Trea Turner back to shortstop, his natural position. His level of play and team control will require the Rays to loosen their grip on some big prospects.

It certainly is a new era for the Chicago White Sox organization after the trades of Sale and Adam Eaton.

After updates on MLB.com, Giolito, Lopez, and Dunning become the #2, #4, and #10 prospects for the Sox respectively. In 2015 he was suspended 50 games for amphetamine use and in spring training 2016 he broke his hand in an altercation with a teammate. Dunning was a first-round pick of the Nationals out of the University of Florida in 2016, and he advanced to short-season Auburn of the New York-Penn League.

Unless you're insane enough to give up hard-throwing young righthander Alex Reyes, though, patience is going to be crucial for the Cardinals and their fans. "If we played in a nonemotional, noncompensated neutral environment, I think we would flush that stat saves down the toilet".

A speculated deal between the Washington Nationals and Chicago White Sox is now done. The deal was now a massive overpay for Eaton - but the Nationals weren't done. This was a unusual report to read, to say the least, because not only did it represent the Nats undercutting their best player publicly in the media based on private negotiations, but Harper's agent, Scott Boras, denied that there had even been such discussions in the first place. He made his Major League Baseball debut last season, starting four games and make two relief appearances for the Nats.

Giolito, 22, was ranked as the fourth best prospect in baseball mid season by Baseball America. It's OK, though. We're going to do the heavy lifting for you each morning and find the things you need to see from within the SB Nation baseball network, as well as from elsewhere.

Eaton is a career.284/.357/.414 hitter over five seasons with the White Sox and Diamondbacks, hitting 14 home runs in each of the past two seasons. You've got the stoic, quiet leader, lead-by-example guy like (Ryan Zimmerman) and then you've got the louder, more flamboyant leader like (Harper). In 11 appearances with the Nationals this past season, Lopez posted an 4.29 ERA, 4.52 xFIP, and 8.59 K/9.
