The White Sox and Brewers agree on the following trade. The White Sox do this trade to address a position of need with Pinder who I really like and acquire another player I like in Cave. I take on all of Santana's contract which gives the Brewers some relief. I'm giving up some spec value in Martinez and potential decent pitchers in Banda, Heller and Kennedy, but to get Pinder and Cave, I feel it is worth it. Thanks for the talks Vik. Brewers to confirm.
