This looks like a solid acquisition for the White Sox, who now have a left-handed batter in Mazara to team with righty sluggers Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez (plus switch-hitting catcher Yasmani Grandal). Mazara will probably patrol right field in Chicago (much like he did with the Rangers). Despite a down season in 2019 (.268 BA, 19 HR, 66 RBI), Mazara is still only 24 and still has plenty of untapped upside.

Walker is also a left-handed batter and he is a year younger than Mazara. Furthermore, he is a local product from Prosper, Texas. That said, he has not played above Single-A ball and will likely start out at Double-A Frisco in 2020. While the Rangers obviously like Walker as an outfield prospect, perhaps they did not receive enough of a return here for their starting right-fielder (who is still young and an unfinished product).

Mazara's stock could soar after this trade, especially if the White Sox offense takes a major step forward in 2020 (as expected). Mazara should be drafted in all league formats and might even be a decent keeper candidate in the deepest leagues. As for Walker, he is now on the keeper radar so keep an eye on his progress within the Rangers organization next season.
