To all those that are curious about the prospects the Cubs are getting in return, here is more info from a Rangers related site (bbtia.com):

"As far as the acquisition cost is concerned, Hendricks and Villaneuva are both solid, but not spectacular prospects -- Hendricks, 22, was the club's eighth-round pick in 2011 out of Dartmouth, and after being deemed one of the 20 best prospects in the Northwest League last year by Baseball America, he had enjoyed a strong 2012 campaign at Myrtle Beach (130.2 IP, 2.82 ERA, 7.7 K/9, 1.0 BB/9, 0.6 HR/9). Jason Cole lauded his pitchability, intelligence, and composure on the bump in his scouting report on Hendricks back in January, but also indicated that he was more of a lower-ceiling, higher-floor type -- that is, a polished product who could advance quickly through the bottom rungs of the system, but might encounter more difficulty as he moved up into the higher ranks of pro ball.

Villaneuva, 21, earned recognition as Baseball America's 100th-best pre-season prospect going into 2012, and has fared comparatively well at Myrtle Beach thus far this season, going .285/.356/.421 after his breakout campaign at Low-A Hickory last season. The skill set isn't elite, but he showcases decent hit/power tools, along with an above-average defensive projection at third base and high-quality makeup that portends well for his chances of fulfilling his ultimate upside as an offensively solid, defensively above-average major league third baseman. Like Hendricks, though, you're talking about a good, but certainly not great prospect in the near term; I'm inclined to think Villanueva has more long-term bite-you-in-the-arse potential, but I don't believe that potential is so immense that it should have put off the Rangers from pulling the trigger on this deal."

Not following you Deano...they do have some good GIFs on that site though...

Makes sense

Thought he was saying Astros, was like wtf

Blake would marry gifs if he could

What a fricking dumbass. He'd be a rental. No way they want him long term. He could fill his fat arse with all the foods of the world in NYC for two months then go wherever he pleases.
