Washington's take on it is here.

The Reader's Digest version is that the Cubs got three minor-league prospects in return, the best of which was rated as the National's 18th best prospect.

Will this be a good deal for the Cubs? I'm looking at it this way--At least they got some young talent to help replenish the minor league system that had been severely depleted by the Matt Garza trade.
