Lou Merloni @loumerloni · 6m #1 you are judging two kids on 1 or 2 full seasons of Minor Leagues. Can’t really do that. . #2. They can’t deal anyone and get a legit young Starter right now given the strange season. So, you acquire young talent to add depth in system so you can deal for arm down the road

Red Sox Stats @redsoxstats · 53m Fangraphs has Jeisson Rosario as a future 60 hit tool, 60 speed, 60 arm guy. Plus he drew 87 walks in High-A last year. Sounds like a leadoff centerfielder type.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 16m Mitch Moreland's finest moment in a #RedSox uniform? Game 4 in Los Angeles, 2018. His three-run homer helped put Boston back on track for its latest World Series title.

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 57m Roenicke: ‘When you want to move forward ... you make hard deals at times. ... (Moreland) should be huge for (the Padres).’
Roenicke on Moreland: ‘He’s the ultimate professional... He produces when he’s out there. He’s a good defender. ... Offensively, he creates runs. ... He comes up with big moment hits.’
Alex Speier @alexspeier · 52m Roenicke on turnover: ‘You don’t have teams that are together for a long time now. ... I’ve gotten used to it.’
Roenicke: ‘We’re just kind of used to, what’s going to happen next and how do we move on from it?’

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 25m Chaim Bloom describes Moreland as a ‘tough guy to move.’ GM Brian O’Halloran says deal came together in last two days and got finalized last night.
Bloom on prospects: ‘High upside for both of them.’ Describes Potts as a ‘big, physical kid with a lot of power and a good arm.’ Rosario is ‘a top-flight athlete’ who profiles as a CF and leadoff hitter with advanced feel for strike zone at a young age.
Bloom in addition of position players rather than pitchers: ‘You’d love to accumulate as much pitching as possible but at the end of the day ... you just need talent throughout the system. You need waves of it.’

Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 28m Bloom says both prospects are both high-upside guys.
Potts: primarily 3B, big physical kid with good arm and good tools. Chance to be real asset with the bat
Rosario: top-flight athlete who profiles as CF and leadoff guy. Great runner. Upside to play CF every day.

Boston Red Sox trade: Who are Hudson Potts, Jeisson Rosario from Mitch Moreland deal? Rosario does celebration backflip Updated 1:24 PM; Today 1:22 PM Hudson Potts

The Boston Red Sox acquired prospects Hudson Potts and Jeisson Rosario from the San Diego Padres for first baseman Mitch Moreland on Sunday.
Both prospects will report to Boston’s alternate training site, Triple-A Pawtucket.
Potts is a 21-year-old third baseman who San Diego selected 24th overall in the 2016 Draft out of Carroll High in Southlake, Texas.
He has batted .256 with a .315 on-base percentage, .428 slugging percentage, .743 OPS, 57 homers, 94 doubles, nine triples and 224 RBIs in 423 minor league games.
He has started 331 games at third base, 25 games at shortstop, 25 games at second base and five games at first base.
“Hudson Potts is primarily a third baseman, although he did see some time at second base last summer as well,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said. “A big, physical kid with a lot of power and a good arm. Really good tools. A chance particularly as he continues to develop his approach that he could be a real asset with the bat and also be able to play multiple positions.”
Rosario, a 20-year-old left-handed hitter, has batted .264 with a .376 on-base percentage, .340 slugging percentage, .716 OPS, seven homers, 41 doubles, nine triples, 93 RBIs and 37 steals in 289 games. He has not played above High A.
The Padres signed the center fielder out of the Dominican Republic as an amateur international free agent in 2016.
“Jeisson Rosario is a top-flight athlete who profiles as a true center fielder and a true leadoff hitter,” Bloom said. “Plus, plus runner. Again, really good athlete. Very good ability in the outfield. Has a really advanced feel for the strike zone at a young age. And we’re excited to see how he develops as he grows and adds strength. But he’s got the upside to play center every day and hit at the top of the lineup.”
Baseball America had Potts ranked the Padres’ No. 17 prospect and Rosario No. 28.
MLB Pipeline had Potts at No. 16 in the Padres system and Rosario at 19. It already has Rosario ranked Boston’s No. 16 prospect and Potts No. 20.
Rosario’s MLB Pipeline scouting report states, “Rosario has natural hitting ability thanks to a combination of bat speed, barrel control and hand-eye coordination. But his left-handed swing has a few moving parts, which makes it tricky to repeat. If he can simplify things, Rosario has quick hands and makes a lot of hard contact from the left side of the plate, and he could grow into some power. ...He still needs time to develop in the Minors, mostly to fill out his lean and athletic frame. But the finished product could be that of a big league regular, with the athletic capabilities to do dazzling things on the baseball field -- including his trademark backflips to celebrate victories.”
Potts’ MLB Pipeline scouting report states, “Potts’ quick right-handed bat and strength give him plenty of raw power, but he has yet to show he can make enough contact against quality pitching to tap into it. He’ll always be a power-over-hit guy, but he’ll need a more disciplined approach to do enough damage to claim an everyday job in the big leagues. He doesn’t walk much and he’s a fringy runner, so almost all of his offensive value comes from his pop.”

Red Sox Notes @soxnotes · 4m Mitch Moreland turned a 1-year contract into 4 seasons with the Sox. He became a clubhouse leader, played through injury, called Adrian Beltre when Rafael Devers needed help, hit the biggest HR of 2018, and was a Jimmy Fund captain. In so many ways, he was perfect for Boston.
