"The Cubs acquired top first base prospect Anthony Rizzo from San Diego Friday in a four-player deal that will send former first-round pick Andrew Cashner to the Padres.

Rizzo, a left-handed hitting slugger who was drafted by Boston under Theo Epstein's regime and acquired by Jed Hoyer in San Diego last winter as part of the prospect package in the Adrian Gonzalez deal, is expected to be the full-time first baseman.

Rizzo, 22, hit .331 at Triple-A Tucson last year with 26 home runs and 101 RBIs, with a 423 on-base percentage and .652 slugging percentage. He was ranked the No. 3 prospect in the Padres system, and made his major league debut for San Diego in 2011, struggling with a .141 average in 128 at-bats in 49 games.

The Cubs are sent outfielder Kyung-Min Na to the Padres, and received pitcher Zach Kates.

Cubs Scouting Director Jason McLeod was responsible for the Red Sox drafting Rizzo in the sixth round of the 2007 draft, and joined Hoyer in bringing Rizzo to the Padres organization. When San Diego acquired first baseman Yonder Alonso from Cincinnati last month in the Mat Latos deal, the Cubs made inquiries on Rizzo, who was made expendable.

Rizzo was diagnosed with Hodkin's Lymphoma in 2008, but was declared cancer-free months later after undergoing chemotherapy."
