The Cubs pick up oft-injured OF Rondell White from the Expos for P Scott Downs, making Henry Rodriguez expendable. But it is Downs who will spend the next five seasons in the infirmary, getting injured in his first outing for the Expos and not coming back to full health until 2004. The Cubs then make their 5th trade in 11 days, sending Rodriguez to the Marlins for 1B/OF Ross Gload and P Dave Noyce.
