The fact that the red sox can get away with negotiating in such bad faith is so unbelievable

So as soon as the #RedSox and #Twins deals are official, the #Dodgers will send outfielder Joc Pederson and pitcher Ross Stripling to the #Angels for infielder Luis Renigfro and two prospects.

How good is Downs?


Will be an all star 2b in Boston. The kid is going to be a doubles machine off the monster.

That seems like a really crappy return for Pederson. How good are the prospects?

Pedrioa (I know I misspelled his name) retiring? It’s a shame the knee injury ruined his career.

That’s too bad. He was such a scrappy player. I wish there were more players like him.

How good is Downs?
He was the Dodgers #5 prospect, and the #44 prospect on the MLB list. He played SS in AA last year, but he's probably a 2B in the bigs. He'll definitely hit wherever he plays. Here's his scouting report from mlb.com:

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 50 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55

Downs went 32nd overall in the 2017 Draft and signed with the Reds for $1,822,500. Despite being one of the youngest regulars (age 19) in the pitcher-friendly Class A Midwest League, he produced 13 homers and 37 steals in his first full pro season -- numbers matched by only one other Minor Leaguer (Padres outfielder Buddy Reed).

Downs has the tools to hit for average and power. He combines a simple right-handed swing with a patient, all-fields approach. He's strong for his size, delivering most of his home runs to his pull side and driving the ball to both gaps.

Downs gets the most out of his average speed, parlaying his aggressiveness and instincts into stolen bases. He played shortstop in his pro debut but spent more time in 2018 at second base, where his arm and range are better fits. He returned to shortstop at the beginning of 2019 and there's also a possibility that he winds up in center field, but the good news is that he has the bat to profile at all three positions.
