The Padres traded Zavala, Drew Thorpe, Jairo Iriarte and Steven Wilson to the White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Dylan Cease, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Zavala slashed .267/.420/.451 with 14 homers and 71 RBI last season at Single-A while also stealing 20 bags. However, he went just 4-for-51 at the plate upon being promoted to High-A in late August. Clearly, the 19-year-old outfielder has plenty of work to do yet in the minors, but the tools are there for Zavala to develop into a solid big-leaguer in the future.
