9 player deal between Bos/Atl/SD - hats off to Padres for QBing on this deal. 

I think I am getting the upgrade at prospect while saving money in the form of the Senzatela contract. League wide price on taking on this contract was otherworldly for some reason, so this deal makes the most sense as an upgrade and money saver. I may have been able to get a bit more juice from this fruit but I am satisfied with this result. 


Kevin and Kevaghn to confirm. 

[Padres GM (Kevaghn)]

Padres confirm.

I will miss CJ Abrams sincerely, but this return totally reshapes the state of my rotation long-term. Jack Leiter has ace upside despite the lumps he took last year, and I think Bello showed standout potential as well after a rough start in the majors. Bello is poised to make an impact this year and Leiter next, and I think both will stick around for a long time. Hoglund is a guy I liked coming out of the draft so I'm happy enough to basically swap Raya (who is also good) for him.

Best of luck to Matt and Kevin. Thanks for helping me connect the dots.

[Red Sox GM (Kevin)]

Really high on CJ Abrams as I think if he puts on muscle he can be Trea Turner-lite. I have doubts on Luciano and Bello is undersized so was willing to part with them to get the best player in the deal. I also like Raya’s prospects.

Good dealing with Padres.

[Red Sox GM (Kevin)]

Just to clarify: Padres meant ‘24 2nd. (He doesn’t own a ‘23 2nd)

[Padres GM (Kevaghn)]

Final clarification, sorry -- these should all actually be 2024 picks (i.e., not in this upcoming draft but next year's draft)
