Not all that long ago, Nick Longhi was a top-10 prospect in the Boston Red Sox system. In fact, that was just back in 2017.
However, he was traded in the middle of the 2017 season to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for international bonus pool money.
The Red Sox made a fantastic signing with that money, in catcher Daniel Flores. Flores was the total package, and already looked to be a star of the system. Things took a devastating turn though, and the 17-year-old catcher passed away due to testicular cancer in November of that year.
