It appears the Red Sox will obtain Adrian Gonzalez from the Padres for RHP Casey Kelly, 1B Anthony Rizzo and CF Rey Fuentes.

If that proves to be the case — and nothing is final quite yet — the Red Sox will have done quite well to retain Jose Iglesias and Ryan Kalish.

Kelly is their best prospect and his loss would be significant. But when the Red Sox drafted and signed Anthony Ranaudo and Brandon Workman, that gave then two RHPs who are older than Kelly. Ranaudo is a comparable prospect and could make it to Portland at some point next season.

Rizzo is an excellent prospect who could start next season in AAA. But with Gonzalez in the fold, the Red Sox do not need a first baseman. Fuentes is an athletic A ball prospect who so far has lacked power.

UPDATE, 10:52 a.m.: We can now confirm, via Major League sources, that the package will be Kelly, Rizzo and Fuentes.

That's two former first-round picks and three players with tremendous upside.

Keep this in mind, however. The Red Sox will gain five draft picks in a deep 2011 draft as free-agent compensation. They will get two picks for Victor Martinez, two for Adrian Beltre and one for Felipe Lopez in addition to their own.

yup. its like the real world. the poor just cant catch a break. in franchise owners world, our owner is relatively poor and is only focused on business and could give a shit about having a winning team

thats how it goes. last season everyone...including the ownership...expected them to be one of the worst teams in the league...so lets see them surprise everyone again.

good for adrian though. he deserves it. on the bright side we play in boston for interleague play so ill get to check out fenway for the first time

The 4 hitters I hated facing the most(Eckstein, Torrealba, A-gone and Tejada) are now all gone from the Padres. That lineup looks so pathetic lol and they lost Garland who was solid. I would be surprised if they win more than 70 games.
