While the White Sox aren't faring so well on their second trade involving Reese McGuire, they came out ahead on their first. Zack Collins is now a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates after the Blue Jays designated Collins for assignment.
Collins bounced between Toronto and Triple-A Buffalo this season as a typical third catcher does, but he went 3-for-36 with 18 strikeouts over his last 42 plate appearances with the Blue Jays, dragging his line down to .194/.266/.417 after a hot start. He didn't fare much better with the Bisons (.195/.361/.398).
