BA ranks Sandlin as the Royals #20 prospect.

Feels like CB is requiring a pitching prospect in every trade.

Seems like an interesting get. Fangraphs has a bunch of 55’s in his profile.

Takes 1.1 million I believe off the roster. Will that do anything?
Prospect looks intriguing but has only been in A ball. Flame out rate is high. I do like the K potential here. But if they were looking to try for a wild card spot, Schreiber would help for sure.

The Red Sox also need to open a spot optionable relievers as Mata and Slaten can not be. |

Schreiber was an absolute stud in '22, one of the very best relievers in baseball. He couldn't keep it up in '23 as his stuff and command deteriorated to the point he was a JAG and he spent time on the IL. I would've been very interested to see what they could have gotten for him a year ago - the Yankees traded a top 100 prospect for a worse reliever with similar long term control that deadline. Sandlin fits my profile of a Breslow pitching prospect target - stuff just one tick below major league levels that you hope you can improve, coupled with excellent control.
edit: That Clegg report is super bullish. Best stuff in the Royals org and he throws nothing but strikes? Sounds good to me

I think the Red Sox want to give Mata and Slaten every opportunity to succeed considering their upside potential. |

Sounds like a decent move. I don't know that schreiber is going to ever replicate his 2022 season. Sold him for an intriguing arm that could end up a SP. Sounds like there is a lot to like about sandlin.

I like Schreiber but he was off last year. His control was iffy last year and I thought he was fortunate to keep an ERA under 4.
He's capable of being a solid reliever for KC, but that said Sandlin has a chance to be a needed arm in a pitching barren farm system. Let's just hope that Breslow plucked a good one. He is certainly promising, strong K/BB ratio which is promising. Gives up too many homers but still he has an arm that can be worked with.
There is certainly a non zero chance that the Red Sox robbed the Royals blind.
I like Schreiber but middle relief arms like him can be fungible. Sandlin could easily flame out or could truly turn into something but for the Sox, either way, Schreiber is a middle reliever on a mediocre team, so if the Sox can extract value for him, that is a good move to make given that Sandlin has the starting blocks to be a starter and the system surely needs it.

I don't know, probably would rather trade Martin but I'd understand if the Royals weren't interested in a rental. He's under contract until 2027. |

I do like the K potential here. But if they were looking to try for a wild card spot, Schreiber would help for sure. Why does it have to be one or the other? I happen to think they're both right at the same time. I think the bigger question is: is it worth doing? I think it is given where they're at. The Royals are in a weak division and have gotten a bunch of 2nd tier players to improve a bad team. Schreiber fits in with that. They have replaced awful players with average-ish players and could contend in a weak ALC although I'm not overly optimistic about it for them. The Sox probably know they're not on par with the rest of the division and are more willing to look at the future and are more open to the idea that a decent middle reliever is not as valuable given their situation. That's why I think its definitely worth the gamble for the Sox to make the deal even if its potentially a small step back. The pen was a relative strength last year. This year it probably wont be given that Jansen is likely gone first chance they get and Martin possibly too and Martin is likely going to regress somewhat, the pen could be thin unless the Sox make an addition or two. Still given where they are it's a move I'm glad they made. |

Looks like a potential starter so I’m all for it.

If we had Sandlin last year, they definitely would not have waited until the end of June to get him out of Low-A as he carved up that league.

#7 on Law's list. Pretty sure Breslow is just trolling the "Law hates the Sox" crowd.
Not much new in the scouting report. It's mostly him rattling his "how college players perform in lo-A is meaningless" hobbyhorse.
It's two bad that lat strain knocked him out so quickly in Hi-A. Would he have performed so well that KC would never have made this seemingly silly trade? Would the wheels have come off his lo-A performance such that Sox fans would be shrugging right now? Only the multiverse knows.

One more tidbit, 2022 was Sandlin's first year as a full-time pitcher.
