K.C. Martin Special Lands Outfield Prospect for Montreal
stadiumreport.bbn December 5th, 2022
Another day, another deal. The phone never stands still these days in
Montreal as the
Expos worked out a 3-team deal with the
San Diego Padres and
Portland Bears for another prospect.
To
Portland Bears:
A RHSP
Ricky Perez(22, 2/2.5*) 3-3 1SV 2.79 56K 62.2IP 25G/9GS 0.5WAR A from MON
To
San Diego Padres:
RHCL
Logan Worden(29, 3.5*, $20M paid by MON) 5-5 36SV 2.37 69K 68.1IP 1.2WAR from POR
To
Montreal Expos:
R LF
Antonio Estrada(17, 4* HS, 4.5* OSA) .108-2-6 .319OPS -1.2WAR 56G R
The 17-year old was signed for $3.6M as an international free agent in 2021 and projects as an average fielder and a 55/50/65/55/55 hitter, but was not yet ranked as a top 100 prospect.
--
Still $76M on the budget for 2023 and those trades somehow got our fan interest up to 80. But, there needs to be teams willing to give veterans for a small price, and teams willing to pay big prospects for those guys… Still, we are printing prospects.
Corresponding move, AAA LHSP
Cody Bowman(25, 2.5*, 4-6 2SV 4.42 47K 0.7WAR 28G/3GS) was placed on the 40-man as depth starting option.
