A pair of prominent progenies changed teams on Thursday afternoon, as the Angels sent Matt Scioscia, son of longtime manager Mike Scioscia, to the Cubs in exchange for Trevor Gretzky, whose father happens to be the greatest hockey player in history.

Selected in the 45th round of the 2011 draft, Scioscia compiled a disappointing .194/.248/.224 line with no home runs over 40 games last season between Rookie Ball, the Midwest League, and the California League.
Gretzky, meanwhile, a seventh-round selection in 2011, hit .274/.300/.333 with one homer over 41 games between the Northwest League and the Midwest League.
