Some news: Ms trade pitcher Tyson Miller to Cubs for an infielder who's been having a good season in the minors. Jake Slaughter.

Ah, the M's must like his low strikeout rate:

Third base: Jake Slaughter

The 25-year-old went deep 23 times while swiping 36 bases across 106 games between South Bend and Tennessee -- one of only five Minor Leaguers to reach both those marks -- and his 22.3 percent strikeout rate was the lowest among that group. The 2018 18th-rounder had just one hit in 19 at-bats during his Southern League debut last season but rebounded to hit .293 with a .923 OPS after being promoted in June. Slaughter also led all Cubs third base prospects with 80 RBIs and 75 runs scored while collecting 114 hits. Defensively, Slaughter spent time at four different positions but mainly stayed at the hot corner, where he committed nine errors.
