The Cubs have finalized the trade that brought José Martinez over from Tampa just before the deadline, though the infamy of the deal will not be so easily resolved. The initial agreement was for a combination of players to be named later and/or cash, and the Cubs already sent 19-year-old infield prospect Pedro Martinez to Tampa. That alone makes it look lopsided based on the elder Martinez’s production, but things really get wild when you see how the dominoes fell.
The Cubs and Rays have finalized the trade that sent Jose Martinez to Chicago last season.
