I strongly believe Dombrowski thinks Devers will be as good or better than Moncada. Which is why he felt Moncada was expendable given the right deal. Dombrowski has been talking up Devers for a couple years now, he is extremely high on him. And given what Devers is doing to double AA pitching right now, I can see why. Devers will in the top 5 soon in every best prospect in America list. A legitimate stud at the plate.

I think the White Sox wanted Moncada primarily and to get Sale he had to part with Moncada and Kopech. I think the ChiSox wanted Devers, too, but Dombrowski was able to get the deal done instead with Basabe and Diaz. If the White Sox had wanted Devers instead of Moncada I think Dombrowski would have made that deal. As excellent as Devers should be Moncada is the higher rated prospect. I think that Dombrowski figured that Moncada and Devers projected to be 3b for the Red Sox so one of them was expendable. |

I think that Dombrowski figured that Moncada and Devers projected to be 3b for the Red Sox so one of them was expendable. In my opinion Moncada is only rated higher as a prospect because he is older. Even DD himself said last year in an interview devers is a bit younger than those guys (Benintendi and Moncada) but he is just as good. I think when Devers turns 21-22 years old, I think he will be rated top 1-3 prospect in all of baseball. |

When he turns 21, I hope he's batting cleanup for the Red Sox  |
