Trade of the Day: Scioscia for Gretzky
How's this for a Minor League trade?
#Angels trade Mike Scioscia's kid to #Cubs for Wayne Gretzky's kid. Seriously: 1B Matt Scioscia for OF Trevor Gretzky.

Matt Scioscia is a 25-year-old first baseman and former standout at Notre Dame.
Gretzky, the Cubs' seventh-round pick in the 2011 draft, is an outfielder/1B with a career .288/.335/.332 line in two Minor League seasons. At 21, he has some legitimate upside.
It's not often that you see a trade involving the sons of an all-time great and longtime manager. Very cool.
