Isn’t it just as simple as the White Sox trading closer Joakim Soria to the Cubs? OK, maybe not simple, but it’s an option, a legitimate option. Last year’s Sox-Cubs...

Blackhawks trade Dominik Hasek to the Sabres for Stephane Beauregard and a 1993 fourth-round pick. With Ed Belfour firmly entrenched as the starter and Jimmy Waite as his backup, the Hawks had a surplus of net-minders and they chose to send the up-and-coming Hasek out of town. All Hasek did was go on to win the Vezina Trophy six times, the Hart Trophy twice and lead the Red Wings to two Stanley Cups in a career that puts him among the best goalies of all time. The Hawks liked Beauregard so much they traded the goalie three days later to the Jets for Christian Ruuttu. One consolation: The Hawks used the draft pick to select Eric Daze, who went to have a decade-long career in Chicago that included four seasons in which he scored 30 or more goals.

May 31, 2019 at 4:40 p.m.

Baez's second steal of home (against the Pirates at Wrigley Field) featured many similarities to his first. The pattern: Baez causes chaos on the bases even before he swipes home. In this case, he reached on an error, had second stolen easily and took third on a bad throw. With the safety squeeze on, Jose Quintana didn't offer, catcher Chris Stewart threw behind Baez and Baez was home before the Pirates knew what hit them. Cubs won 17-3.
