White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Traded to White Sox

Moncada was traded to the White Sox on Tuesday as part of a deal that sends Chris Sale to the Red Sox, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

Moncada struggled in his brief major-league stint with the Red Sox last season, but there is no denying he is one of -- if not the -- best prospects in baseball, and is the centerpiece of the package headed to Chicago. Now that the White Sox are officially rebuilding, they will likely let Moncada work on his recognition of offspeed and breaking pitches at Triple-A at the start of the season, as the Red Sox clearly rushed him a little in 2016. Once he has mastered minor league pitching, however, he will likely take over at the keystone for the White Sox.
