Tommy Pham, everyone’s favorite King of the Red Asses, is now gone. He was dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays for a trio of prospects.

Using only readily available information, how valuable are these prospects? And how does that value weigh against Tommy Pham’s surplus value?
How well do the Rays prospects acquired for Tommy Pham stack up to Pham’s future value?
