After a little back and forth the Red Sox and D-Backs have come to an agreement on the following trade...
Red Sox get:
Tyson Ross, SP, Padres. 2018/3.1M 2019/UFA **D-Backs keep 1,550,000 of Ross's salary**
Rajai Davis, LF/CF, Indians. 2018/.5M 2019/UFA
D-Backs get:
Cameron Maybin, LF/CF/RF, Marlins. 2018/5M 2019/5M 2020/5M
Derek Holland, Sp, Giants. 2018/.5M 2019/UFA
Gavin Cecchini, 2B/SS, Mets. 2018/.2M - prospect
Dominic Ficociello, 1B, Tigers. 2018/.2M - prospect
We hate to see Tyson and Rajai leave, and thank them for their contributions. Neither was ever meant to be anything more than a stop gap to let the young guys develop. In this deal we received Holland & Maybin who will fill those roles. We also receive 2 prospects that we like and could help us in the next year or 2. Gavin Cecchini is a solid middle infielder who some thought might win a utility role this year and we feel will have a shot at being an everyday 2B in the near future. In Ficociello we get a very solid 1B who will get a shot at the starting spot in Detroit once Miggy is again hurt or moves to DH next year.
Although there was a slight mishap on our part, we are happy with this deal and would like to thank the Boston GM for the smooth negotiations. It's appreciated.
