David Robertson and Todd Frazier are the biggest names in the Yanks' deal with the Chicago White Sox, but the surging reliever could be the star of the trade.

Thomas is a recent graduate of the painfully small St. Joseph's College - Brooklyn Campus - with a Bachelors of Arts in English, a minor in History, and a love of sports writing that came from working at the school newspaper. He is an avid Mets, Rangers, Steelers, and Lakers fan (they all come from his parents, he swears!), and those four teams dominate his twitter activity. When he isn't ranting and raving about those four on twitter (or live-tweeting some TV show) he writes words for various websites, most notably Amazin' Avenue, Baseball Essential, and, most recently, numberFire. He even dabbles in covering competitive Call of Duty for Rotowire. Henrik Lundqvist is the best goalie in the world, Carlos Beltran is the best outfielder in Mets history, and Joe Flacco isn't elite.

Correa had a bit of a down year in 2016, but he's bounced back in a big way this season, putting up career-best numbers across the board. Have we somehow underrated the former top overall pick and 2015 Rookie of the Year?
After missing the beginning of the season with a foot injury, J.D. Martinez has looked every bit like one of the game's elite hitters.
The Indians signed Ramirez to a long-term deal after one good season, but he is making them look smart with his performance thus far in 2017.
Jansen has been otherworldly this year, and he's doing it almost entirely with his cheat-code cutter.
Healy was a relatively unimpressive prospect who has done nothing but impress for Oakland over the last calendar year.
Given playing time primarily because of injuries to some of his teammates, Chris Taylor has taken full advantage of his opportunity.
Cabrera's season looks like it's his worst ever, but the underlying stats show a turnaround is close.
Gardner's power surge has been a surprising development for the New York Yankees, and his output atop the lineup is a big reason for the team's superb start. Can he sustain it?
Garcia has unexpectedly emerged as a weapon for the White Sox. How good has he been, and can he sustain it moving forward?
Jake Arrieta has had his problems in 2017, but he may be better than the numbers indicate.
Miguel Sano has been known to rack up walks and strikeouts at a very high rate, which hasn't changed so far this year. What has changed, though, is how he's performing in the rest of his plate appearances.
