This is ArizonaPhil's opinion of the Cubs match for the prospects SD received for Kimbral.

A comparable package from the Cubs would have been Gleyber Torres, Albert Almora Jr, Jeimer Candelario, and Justin Steele... something like that.

That would seem to be be vastly overpaying for a relief pitcher who already has a salary pretty much at market value.  When yyu are trading for a player whose contract truly pays him he full market value, anything you give that team having value beyond what they are being paid (which is to say any serious prospect) is pretty much a gift.

Which is why many reporters and bloggers feel that the Sox screwed themselves with the deal.

 Very glad to see Pierce Johnson wind up AFL with two solid starts...and to see Candalario keep himself in conversations as among the top performers this AFL!

Heh heh, Andury Acevado had a breakout season.  He'd been >8BB/9IP his earlier two seasons; this year that settled to 3.2 BB/9.

Sounds like Corey Black, with one final year of better control.  Everything to win and very little to lose.

Master Pau: Does Eddy Martinez have star potential my friends think he is going to be a bust given he only signed for 3 million. Saying if he was a better prospect he would go for 10+ Million
Klaw: Something weird happened behind the scenes; I thought he had a $10 million deal with a specific club, yet it never came to fruition. He’s a potential star for me.

Archie: I know he’s still a few years away, but what do you think the Cubs do with Gleyber Torres? Trade bait?
Klaw: Two years out from that point, I think. Potential superstar whom I’d be loath to trade now for fear that I’d be selling too low, because he’s more potential than anything at this point. He’s wildly advanced for his age.

Reading the stuff on Martinez makes me feel Almora's in trouble and we only need a one year guy in CF.

This is one of the rare occasions where I fully agree with Keith Law. Eighteen-year-old kids who play well enough to earn #1 top prospect honors in a 16-team full season Class A league should never be traded.

Yes, and was 18 the entire season. Heck, Torres is STILL 18 (for a few more weeks).

He might get a peek at AA late next season. At 19.

Russell could easily make an All-Star team next year and have Torres push him out by the end of 2017.

Even without Martinez, we should only need a one year guy in CF (and I think we already have him).

And if Martinez is good enough a couple of years from now to cause the Cubs to shop Almora after one year in the majors to hopefully prove real value, so be it.
