The back end of the Dodgers' FG prospect list is littered with lower minor guys who throw absolute gas, eat some salary and throw in one of them for good measure and I'm heading home happy. Thanks, Kiké. The thrills were real. As for what we get back, I would be happy with a bag of batting practice balls if the Dodgers eat most or all of his salary. With good infield and outfield options available, both the Red Sox and the Dodgers are well-served by this move.

Wonder if there is any chance Bloom could send something with Kiké and snake Gavin Lux out of there? He did mention wanting a left hitting middle infielder. Lux hasn't played at all this year and is still on his way back from ACL surgery. Bloom is dealing with Friedman who is perhaps the best GM of the last decade. Hes not giving Bloom Lux or anything of real value other than maybe a lotto ticket.

I’ll guess Nick Robertson is the return.

I’ll guess Nick Robertson is the return. He’s young, controllable, throws 95 and has really good AAA numbers so that feels like a huge overpay. Bloom has crushed it with picking his under-appreciated relievers so I hope you’re right.

2 upper level minor league relievers are on their way which lead me to believe Bloom is paying at least some of the salary.

The fact it could be two upper level minor league relievers would kind of lead me to believe Sox are eating some money here, then again the Dodgers are already of the LT anyway so maybe/hopefully they won't care. I'm sure the relievers won't be much to speak of and they certainly wouldn't be if the Sox are sending the whole salary with him.

I'm hoping for someone in the top 25 in the Dodgers system. But not sure any relievers would fit that description.

Honestly, I'd rather no return and the Dodgers take on his entire salary, than us paying it down to take back a back end prospect that needs to be added to the 40 in December Edit: Welp

I’d look at 47-60 on the SP list for a general idea of what to expect. Keep in mind Rosier and Ferguson (Groome/Hosmer trade) have barely placed on the list. It’s going to look a bit like that.

The irony in this is that Bloom assuaged his concerns and assured him that the team would be "way better" this year before he re-signed with the 1/$10mil deal. In a way, he was correct. He just didn't know he'd be trading Kiké at the deadline to ensure that.

I would have rather one good prospect than 2 meh guys. But I guess its good that he's never going to play SS again.

I think one big side effect of this trade is that it’s exceedingly unlikely Duvall will be moved.

It's not about saving money for Henry, it's about having additional room under the threshold to add more at the deadline
