In July of 2017, the White Sox and Yankees pulled off a blockbuster trade. The White Sox sent third baseman Todd Frazier, closing pitcher and former Yankee David Robertson and reliever Tommy Kahnle to New York.
In return, the White Sox acquired closer Tyler Clippard, relief pitcher Ian Clarkin, outfielder Tito Polo, and today’s prospect profile player: Blake Rutherford.
Seventh in the White Sox Top 30, 77 in MLB Top 100 last season, the 21-year-old was drafted 18th overall in the 2016 MLB draft by the Yankees.
