Interesting...

[King]

Thoughts on a package? Margot +?

 

I have no idea.

Source: Tyson Ross' name has been discussed heavily in Red Sox-Padres talks. Could be part of much bigger deal.

Winning the AL East won't be easy in 2016 from the looks of it.

RHP Logan Allen among players from Boston headed to SD #RedSox #Padres

 

Logan Allen is only 18 with 8 games played. Could be absolutely anything at this point. Drafted in the 8th round.

[THANOS]

This package could give us an idea what Chapman will cost.

Big money can change everything real quick. Redsox have the prospects and money to quickly get better fast. NYY can never be counted out either.

Heard it's multiple MLB guys going to Boston. This could be a long night, and a fun one too.

Oh s***, could be Ross, Shields and Kimbrel.

Red Sox source says middle infielder Carlos Asuaje is one of the players headed to San Diego.

Ross and Kimbrel would be a good haul for the Red Sox.

 

I wish they were still giving $100m to hitters who couldn't play defense. I liked that strategy better.

Allen's BA scouting report pre-draft

 

 

It was IMG's post-grad team that featured Jacob Nix and, briefly, Brady Aiken that made most of the headlines this spring, but the academy's high school team had several prospects of its own. Allen, a native of Asheville, N.C., who transferred to IMG before his junior year, is the best of the bunch. He has gotten stronger since last summer and has seen his velocity tick up as a result, going from throwing his fastball in the mid to upper 80s to sitting in the low 90s with the pitch. He also tightened his breaking ball and is throwing it with more power, making it look more like a slider. He shows some feel for a changeup and also throws a bigger breaking curveball, giving him a full arsenal. Allen works around the zone and has a good understanding of his craft. He is committed to South Carolina.

 

Kiley McDaniel had him ranked 100th of the 2015 draftees

Tyson Ross is not in the Craig Kimbrel trade, according to a source.

Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 28s29 seconds ago

SS Javier Guerra, CF Manuel Margot (and more) in Padres/Kimbrel deal. Wrote today that defensive premium in game was elevating their value.

[G-Snarls]

[Cyborg]

Kimbrel for Margot, Guerra, Allen, Asujae. Seems steep.

Sure does

[G-Snarls]

What's Kimbrel's contract status?

[jaysfan2014]

Pretty pricey return. #4, #6, #13 and #25 prospects. Better be more going to Boston.. or this deal is going to be a serious overpay.

KingKats guy

 

Asuaje is Margot's translator. As much as I've held a torch for the guy, he might not really have any value beyond that. I'm not at all surprised that they were packaged together.

[Abomination]

What's Kimbrel's contract status?

 

2 years plus a team option.

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** he's getting 11M, 13M, 13M next 3 seasons
