We don’t usually write about trades involving minor leaguers who aren’t prospects, but this is an obvious exception: The Angels have traded the son of manager Mike Scioscia, first baseman Matt Scioscia, to the Cubs for outfielder Trevor Gretzky, who’s also known as Wayne Gretzky’s son.
Once upon a time Trevor Gretzky looked like a decent enough prospect. He was the Cubs’ seventh-round pick out of a California high school in 2011 and is still just 20 years old, but he’s managed a grand total of one homer and 17 walks (with 61 strikeouts) in 76 games in the low minors.

#Angels trade Mike Scioscia's kid to #Cubs for Wayne Gretzky's kid. Seriously: 1B Matt Scioscia for OF Trevor Gretzky.
