The Cubs and Rays swap third basemen, with the Rays picking up some prospects as well:

The Cubs and Rays are swapping third basemen, as Christopher Morel will head to Tampa Bay while All-Star Isaac Paredes goes back to Chicago, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Sunday.

The Cubs are also sending two prospects — pitchers Ty Johnson and Hunter Bigge — to the Rays in the deal, sources told ESPN.

Johnson pitched just 61 minor league innings, but so far is a low HR, high K pitcher. Bigge limits hits, but makes up for that with walks. Both blow away batters, So I would not be surprised that the Rays see them as two more low cost power arms out of the bullpen.

This is not a classic deadline deal, as Paredes is seen as a long-term solution at third base for the Cubs.
