Cubs Move Tepera to Sox
The Chicago Cubs might not have Anthony Rizzo or Kris Bryant in the lineup this afternoon, but the man on the move (so far) is Ryan Tepera.
The Chicago White Sox are in agreement on a deal to acquire reliever Ryan Tepera from the Chicago Cubs, pending medicals, according to sources familiar with the situation.

Tepera had a 2.91 ERA in 43.1 innings for the Cubs in 2021, he added 50 strikeouts in that time. Tepera was incredible in the month of May, posting a 0.61 ERA in 14 appearances. His turnaround was essential for this Cubs bullpen, who has now traded Andrew Chafin and Tepera.
Bailey Horn is the player coming back from the Chicago White Sox. Horn is an LHP with a fastball sitting between 92-96 MPH. He tops out at 98. He also has an effective slider, but that fastball has an incredible 21-inches of vertical break. Horn was the White Sox number 23 prospect.
