LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Arizona general manager Kevin Towers had been talking trade with Chicago White Sox GM Rick Hahn for a month when he arrived at the winter meetings last weekend and sent a text to Angels counterpart Jerry Dipoto. "Can I get your attention in that Trumbo deal for Skaggs and Eaton?" he remembered writing. "Sure, why dont you come down and talk?" Dipoto quickly replied, according to Towers. Two days later, a three-team trade fell into place. Chicago acquired outfielder Adam Eaton from Arizona for left-hander Hector Santiago, and the Diamondbacks then sent Santiago and left-hander Tyler Skaggs to the Angels for slugger Mark Trumbo. Arizona also will receive a player to be named or cash from each of the other clubs. "Its nice when youre able to have three clubs up here all feeling good about things," Hahn said Tuesday during a news conference. "Obviously, as Jerry pointed out, it does hurt a little bit, but it costs something to get something." Trumbo, 27, hit .234 with 34 home runs and 100 RBIs this year, playing first base in 123 games because Albert Pujols was hurt. Despite hitting 95 homers during the last three seasons, the sometimes outfielder was deemed superfluous by Los Angeles, which craved starting pitching behind Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Garrett Richards. "Right now wed line up with both guys as starters," Dipoto said. Trumbo was used to hearing his name in trade talk. "I think its been rumoured for years now," he said. "I knew that this one was a serious thing." Hell join a batting order that includes Paul Goldschmidt, who led the NL with 125 RBIs and tied for the league lead in home runs with 36. "We all addressed some of our biggest needs," Towers said. "Well give him some protection." After finishing last in the AL Central with their worst record since 1970 at 63-99, the White Sox were looking to make changes, and Hahn is counting on Eaton to provide a spark. "We lacked a little bit of energy and a little edge," Hahn said. "This is a dirt-bag baseball player. This is a guy who has been described to me by someone at this table with words I cant use." Santiago, 25, was 4-9 with a 3.56 ERA in 23 starts and 11 relief appearances. His fastball velocity has dipped from 93.8 mph in 2011 to 92.8 in 2012 to 91.8 last season, according to fangraphs.com. Eaton, a 25-year-old speedy leadoff hitter, was sidelined from spring training until July 9 by a sprained left elbow. He hit .252 with three homers, 22 RBIs and 44 strikeouts in 250 at-bats for the Diamondbacks this year. Skaggs, 22, went to Santa Monica High School, was taken by the Angels with the 40th overall selection of the 2009 amateur draft and was dealt to the Diamondbacks in August 2010 to complete the trade that brought Dan Haren to Los Angeles. Skaggs made his big league debut in 2012, when he had six starts, but spent much of this year in the minors. He was 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in seven starts this year for Arizona, leaving him with a 3-6 career mark. Trumbo is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time this winter. Santiago is on track to be eligible after next season, Eaton following 2015 season and Skaggs after the 2016 season. For Towers, the deal meant mission accomplished. "Weve got a guy that we can control now for three years. Two of the probably better right-handed power bats in the National League," he said, "Excited for spring training."

Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Steve Mason, Philadelphia (5) - Big part of the reason it was 1 - 1 after the first period, looked comfortable and in control of his game. He was late to get across a bit on the Dominic Moore goal, but was real good on handling the puck. He made a huge stop on Ryan Mcdonagh at end of 2nd to keep the lead heading into the 3rd period. Henrik Lundqvist, New York (3) - Not tested very much in the first, the Matt Read goal was a neat set play off the backboard. Jakub Voraceks goal was scored on a great deflection but he was really deep on the play, even for what were used to with him. Corey CCrawford, Chicago (4)- Very efficient but aggressive game, big saves on T.ddddddddddddJ. Oshie in overtime, was solid all game, handled the puck well, stepped up when needed. Ryan Miller, St. Louis (3) - Goal by Marian Hossa was a rebound but there was contact on the play that turns him. He gave the Blues a chance to win. He didnt have much chance on the breakaway GWG, that was a great play by Jonathan Toews. Frederik Andersen (4) - Solid bounce back game, had answers for Ray Whitney, Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, needs to find consistency in his game. Kari Lehtonen (2) - Not a very good night, had issues with crease management and positioning, was exposed on side to side plays, needs to get back to the drawing board and to the basics. Tim Thomas (NR) - Saved one of two shots. ' ' '
