As we await what will happen over the next few hours leading up to today’s trade deadline, our focus remains on the deal the Red Sox already made on Sunday, sending Mitch Moreland to the Padres in exchange for a pair of prospects. It was a good return for Moreland, as both Hudson Potts and Jeisson Rosario give us reasons to be excited about their potential future. It is worth mentioning that both players will need to be added to the 40-man roster over the offseason to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft, and with the Padres facing a 40-man crunch this winter they became an easy target for a team like the Red Sox who have so much of their roster in flux.
