Are they allowed to make a list of players to be named later based on the performance of the players traded? I am guessing not but just curious.

Oh. My. God. 

Unless the Sox picked up a chunk of salary we are not getting more than a bag of dicks. 

I'm laughing about thompson, but Nastrini is BA's 10th prospect on the dodger 30

That sure would be something. Maybe they are making arrangements for the Dodgers to pick up the tab for working being done at Camelback in lieu of any prospects. 

??????

none of you idiots guessed trayce thompson

Hey at least we got one of their top 10 prospects 

Leasure has 56 K's in 35 IP this year so could actually be a good bullpen piece next year

10. Nick Nastrini

RHP

Ht: 6'3" | Wt: 215 | B-T: R-R

Age: 23

BA Grade/Risk: 50/High

Track Record: Nastrini arrived at UCLA as a top recruit out of San Diego’s Cathedral Catholic High and grew into premium stuff as he gained strength and maturity. He entered his junior year with the Bruins considered a potential first-rounder, but he suffered a horrendous case of the yips and was dropped from the rotation by April. The Dodgers decided to take a shot on Nastrini’s raw stuff and drafted him in the fourth round in 2021, signing him for $497,500. He rediscovered his control and composure under the Dodgers’ instruction and flew up to Double-A in his first full season in 2022. He led the Dodgers’ system with 169 strikeouts and limited opponents to a .178 average, third-lowest in the minor leagues.

Scouting Report: Nastrini is a physical, 6-foot-3 righthander with power stuff. His fastball sits 94-95 mph and touches 98 with above-average ride and extension that helps it play as a borderline plus-plus pitch, especially at the top of the strike zone. His short, vertical slider in the mid 80s flashes above-average with late drop below barrels, and his fading mid-80s changeup is an average pitch that is more consistent than his slider. He added an 80-83 mph power curveball late in the year that is fringy now but has a chance to improve with more development. Nastrini has a polished, repeatable delivery, but he tends to be too methodical in his tempo and mechanics, leading to below-average control. He is best when he works quickly and lets his natural athleticism take over on the mound.

The Future: Nastrini’s loud stuff and improved control give him a chance to be a No. 4 starter if he can maintain his strides. He will open 2023 at Double-A and has an outside chance to reach the majors during the season.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 65. Curveball: 45. Slider: 55. Changeup: 50. Control: 40

Dodgers 9th prospect on the MLB.com list. That's a pretty tolerable return for these 2.

Show me Jerry eating the money due and a huge haul 

He is pretty handsome if you were into that nicky delmonico look.

Yes sir, the legend of ChiSox great Trayce Thompson continues!

 

Honestly, I'm surprised we even got the prospect we did. I'm glad to see big boy and Kelly gone.

nobody gives huge hauls becasue you ate money as you gave them the worst starting pitcher era in baseball

Nastrini #9 on pipeline

Good. Now get Cease traded and tear this fucker down.

Shocked they got anything of value for those two. Nastrini is our best pitching prospect close to the majors.

lets play "pick a random dodgers prospect"

 

if he's in the trade, you win 5 fathom points and a bmags hug

 

I'll go with Nick Frasso as he looks like a bullpen arm that we would say can start

Kyle Hurt ?

I'm actually on with this. With a bad as Lynn was, getting a top tier pitching prospect in return is as good as we could expect. 

Not a bad return especially if no money was sent.  When is Trayce due to return from the IL?
