In return for their ace, the White Sox received the Cubs' top prospect Eloy Jimenez, who gained notoriety last month for channelling his inner Roy Hobbs and busting the lights of a stadium during batting practice.

If you're not sure who Roy Hobbs is, you've missed out on one of baseball's most classic films "The Natural," which featured this memorable moment.
