The first was the breaking news and confusion over who was coming back to the White Sox (a few embarrassed MLB writers today). The second was the confirmed deal, plus additional details and deeper dives on the A-ball players, Jeral Perez and Alexander Albertus.
These trades were good news for both Davis Martin and Touki Toussaint:

Davis Martin, after two years away, returns to the White Sox rotation this week!
Interestingly Fraser Ellard, purportedly with the team to step in after trade depletion, still has not been activated.
