Trade Deadline Day - 2020

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
This is just not an eye popping deal, other than the volume, though I am not necessarily down on it...really have to let it sink in before making a judgment. One thing to note is that the Padres system is incredibly deep and talented...their "expendable guys" might be ranked much higher in other systems. I know they have been connected to Naylor in the past...I am guessing he becomes a regular right away.
 
I mean the amount of middle infield prospects seems insane right now.

Gotta wonder about us flipping somebody here
 
According to sources, catcher Austin Hedges, right-hander Cal Quantrill, outfielder Josh Naylor, shortstop Gabriel Arias (No. 7 Padres prospect), left-hander Joey Cantillo (No. 9) and infielder Owen Miller (No. 11) are headed to Cleveland. Along with Clevinger, the Padres get outfielder Greg Allen and a player to be named.

So that's three of their top eleven prospects according to Indians.com
 
Lot to digest with that many players..

Arias looks like the headline piece and now appears to be the heir apparent be the future at SS for the Indians. #7 Padres prospect per MLB.com Venezuelan SS who hit 17 HRs in High A ball last year as a 19 year old.

Josh Naylor should be able to contribute for the team immediately. 23 year old corner OF bat. Not all that impressed with his MLB production but he should hopefully be given the opportunity to grow in Cleveland. Hit for high average and had a 1:1 K/BB ratio his last 2 years in the minor with some pop. His brother Bo, is one of our top prospects so cool to have them both in the org.

Cal Quantrill. Won't pretend to know much about him. Looks like he throws a good fastball but has never really struck guys out at the level we've come to expect from Indians starters. Not entirely impressive IMO

Cantillo is a 20 year old lefty starter. #9 SD prospect per MLB.com. Impressive K numbers last year as a 19 y/o in A and High A

Owen Miller has hit for good average at every level he's played at (up to AA). #11 prospect per MLB.com

Hedges won't give you much at the plate but is an elite backstop



It might come across as a disappointing return at the moment as Arias has not progressed far enough to be seen as an elite prospect yet and it's hard to tell how much Josh Naylor will realistically be able to contribute to this season with just 317 MLB PAs of meh production under his belt.

I note that Naylor early on was considered a power hitting prospect - also, played 1B his first few years in the Pads org - now with his 3 organization - not sure if thats good or bad
