Lucas Giolito solidifies the White Sox winning the Adam Eaton trade - CHICITYSPORTS

Chicago White Sox starter Lucas Giolito has been really good this season, a bright spot for the future of the team's rebuild.

Giolito looks like a stud this year. But Dunning has underwent TJS and Lopez is hit or miss.

I was fully prepared to write off Giolito coming into this season. Credit to him for making the mechanical adjustments necessary to be the guy (so far this season) he was projected to be.

In terms of who won the trade...I feel like the Sox "won" it but more by default/attrition. Eaton has been pretty good for the Nats and as advertised but he didn't really help the team win anything. As for the Sox Giolito is just NOW coming into form, Lopez is "meh", and Dunning is a complete non-factor. The Nats window is pretty much closed so Eaton can't really do much but be a pretty good player on a so-so franchise. The Sox still have hope of a couple of these guys hitting and helping the franchise turn it around. I'd say the Sox "won" the deal but it's based on really there being an unknown out there on if any of these contribute anything meaningful to a good Sox team.

Giolito is looking like he might be a number 1 and Lopez does have flashes of excellence. If Lucas has found himself and even if Lopez turns out to be a 4 or 5, the Sox appear to be the winners here.
