Minnesota sends: Trevor Plouffe 16:$5.3M, 17:$6.3M Carlos Martinez 16:$0.5M, 17:$1M, 18:$2M, 19:$3M Edmundo Sosa STL - prospect Brett Phillips MIL - prospect Tyler Beede SF - prospect
Boston sends: David Ortiz BOS 16-17:$10M club options Austin Dean MIA - prospect Sam Travis BOS - prospect Grant Holmes LAD - prospect
Was looking to add a much needed power bat to my lineup and Papi fills that void. I have the cap space to bring on his $10M option. Looks like it'll be for one year only as he's announced 2016 will be his final season so there will be no financial responsibilty in 2017 if he does indeed retire. Bringing on 3 good prospects in Dean, Travis and Holmes solidifies my farm system even though I'm giving up some top prospects in Phillips and Beede. Sosa is a STL Top 30 prospect and still several years away so time will tell.
I know Boston wanted some immediate Major League impact players in return which he gets in Plouffe and Martinez.

I accept. I get some very reasonably priced Major League talent and I get a top 100 prospect and two very solid prospects to help replenish my recently depleted farm system. I know losing Big Papi was a blow but in the long term I think Martinez and Plouffe can make up his production and I get Six years of control for those two as opposed to One for Ortiz which is why I pulled the trigger on the deal.
