Trey Mancini may not have been moved at this past July’s trade deadline, but a very similar player was. Outfielder Nick Castellanos was sent from the White Sox to the Cubs in exchange for a pair of pitching prospects.
Castellanos has been raking ever since he joined the Cubs, putting up a .380/.415/.800 slash in 12 games. And Mancini is having a career year, having already set a career high in home runs at 29 with a month and a half of the season left to go.
It’s really quite remarkable to look at these two players’ numbers side-by-side and compare.
