I think Cassie is ranked 16th as a prospect in the Padres organization.

So no Padre top 10 prospects pre-Snell trade.

[Hawk4Hall]

Yikes was hoping for higher than 11. So 11 and 16 are the names out there for prospects.

This a horsefeathering terrible return. The Hoyer era starts not with a bang, but a big wet fart noise.

at least the media is going to destroy the cubs over the next week. not that it makes any difference, but at least they'll get embarrassed a little bit.

Awful.

By MLB Pipeline, it's probably okay value. All 4 guys are 45 FB guys, meaning they'd be top 10 in a normal system (keep in mind the Padres have an incredibly deep system). Though you still have the whole quantity vs. quality argument. By FG's values though, there's not really any sort of justification. Two 45s, a 40, and a 35.

 

If it'd been Cronenworth and these four guys I'd be slightly disappointed, but this is horsefeathering risky as hell. The Cubs must REALLY trust their scouts.

With no top 10 prospects in the return - probably means the Cubs didn’t kick in as much money.

I'm not gonna pretend I know jack about the players coming back.

 

But let's get this fire sale going!

[Cubswin11]

Nice look from ownership and the new FO, Yu says he wasn’t informed about the deal.

 

[Tim]

damn...we are going *young* on the return

 

19, 18, 17 & 16 (almost 17) for those four guys.

I think we'll look back on this in 2 or 3 years and be fine with this deal. The most disappointing aspect is that it looks like they're going long term rebuild so we can expect 3 or 4 years of really bad baseball. I was hoping for a 1 year retool and back to decent in 2022.
