Big question is who is one of the better Red Sox prospects involved?

Wow, Espinoza.

Apparently Espinoza could be in the deal.

****in Dombrowski.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

This is what Dombrowski does. And he rarely got burned in DET trading prospects for help now.

San Diego did well IMO. They acquired Pomeranz for Alonso and then flipped him for a nice prospect here. Nice asset management.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Preller just MURDERED Dombrowski.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Meanwhile, AJ Preller has quite the stable of prospects and is doing a good job. What a world.

That doesn't make it any better. IMO, you need someone much better than Pomeranz if you're moving Espinoza.

I was just getting excited about an Espinoza, Groome, and Kopech trio earlier today.

Isn't Espinoza really far away from the majors, though? I know that people have compared him to Pedro Martinez (I can't stand player comps), but still...

Just days after the All-Star Game. Nice.

He's young but he could be up in 2-3 years.

1 for 1 trade.

Smart to sell high. I have doubts that Pomeranz can maintain this level of play.

A's also got Ralphabet, who has surprising been adequate.

risky move by the sox. espinosa has tons of potential

preller sure made out good on the alonso trade

Unfortunately that reminds me of the GM shuffle we had.

October 2011: Hoyer leaves to become Cubs GM, Josh Byrnes promoted to GM.

December 2011: Padres trade Mat Latos to Reds for Alonso, Yasmani Grandal, Edinson Volquez, and Brad Boxberger.

January 2012: Padres trade Anthony Rizzo to Cubs for Andrew Cashner.

"The acquisition of Yonder Alonso (from the Reds in the Mat Latos trade) provided us the flexibility to make this trade and acquire a quality, young power arm in Andrew Cashner," Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.

 

[Reality Check]

If there is one thing Dombrowski excels at more often than not, it's making trades. Actually, it's what he is known for.

Boston isn't little sisters of the poor either. They have the resources to replenish the minor league system in due time.

 

[NJDevs26]

Dombrowski's certainly consistent if nothing else, he insisted on premium value for Cespedes last year and gave premium value for Pomeranz this year.

Of course being a Met fan after the Gomez fiasco last year I'm still suspect of any trade that's still pending 'physicals'

Cashner was pretty good up until last year.

And now the other shoe drops...Boston just signed 1st rounder Jason Groome.

 

[robert terwilliger]

i guess pomeranz has been slightly better on the road this year so it's not just petco?

oof.

 

[robert terwilliger]

pomeranz is 27 and has already set a career high in innings pitched this season.

with 102.

i need a drink.

He rarely got burned because those prospects just didn't pan out. Dombrowski couldn't predict that. At the times of the trades they were considered fair value. To acquire Miggy he had to give Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller. Maybin was going to be the next 30-30 star and Miller who had wipe out stuff was going to be the next ace. In some instances you trade a bunch of prospects and none or maybe 1 pan out. In other instances it comes back and bites you on the backside (case in point Colon trade). Brandon Phillips, Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore was the return for Colon.

 

[robert terwilliger]

also if this is what drew pomeranz gets, the yankees should ask the cubs for schwarber, bryant and russell as well as the rights to the 2016 world series trophy.
