On Thursday afternoon, the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox pulled off a blockbuster 5-player trade that sent left-hander Jose Quintana to the North Side.
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.
