1The Red Sox have gotten nothing from their outfield this year, and don't have much in the pipeline. Laureano immediately slots into CF giving them a big upgrade this year, and gives them some payroll flexibility as they build contending rosters over the following three years. In my mind, there is not as clear a fit on a contender for Laureano as Boston. In return, the A's land on four guys who will boost their system immediately. Nick Yorke, albeit with a down year, brings an excellent hit tool to the table, hopefully being able to handle 2B on a long-term basis. I am a big believer in Blaze Jordan's power, and he seems to be actually getting to it this year. Gonzalez is wild right now, but the talent is there, and I think he should actually be valued slightly higher than he is currently. Mata has long been a favorite and I will happily add him as the fourth piece in a deal here.
