The Dodgers clearly made the move with the intention of improving their chances to win both now and during the next several seasons, but for the Red Sox it was all about a fresh start. 袜袜跟躲人完成了自有MLB TRADE RUMORS网站以来最大的交易。 躲人很清楚地，是为了增加他们在此刻与可预见的未来几年夺冠的机会， 而对於袜袜而言，则是希望有一个全新的开始。 As reported earlier, the Dodgers will assume all but $12MM of the approximately $271.5MM in contracts coming their way. Boston is getting what amounts to a financial fresh start, as their three highest paid players coming into the season (in terms of average annual value) are now off the books. After a disastrous end to last season and a disappointing 2012 season overall, most clubs would have been happy just clearing that much future payroll. Red Sox GM Ben Cherington did one better and acquired some quality prospects as well. 袜袜只吃下送过去球员271.5M薪水中的12M， 送走了本季球队平均薪水最高的三个人，藉此获得了财务上的弹性。 在上赛季灾难性的结束与令人失望的这个赛季之後，俱乐部乐意见到薪资空间被清出来， 而GM Ben Cherington同时也藉此获得了一些有品质的新秀。 The four-player prospect haul is highlighted by two right-handers: Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa (pictured). The Cubs asked for the 22-year-old Webster in exchange for right-hander Ryan Dempster prior to the trade deadline but were rebuffed. Baseball America ranked him as the number two prospect in Los Angeles' system before the season, behind only Zach Lee. Webster was also ranked as the 95th best prospect in baseball before the season by the publication. He's pitched to a 3.55 ERA with 8.7 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 22 starts and five relief appearances at the Double-A level this season, and Baseball America spoke to one team official who described him as a future number two starter in the Derek Lowe mold. 获得的四名新秀中以Webster和De La Rosa为中心。 小熊曾经在之前Dempster的交易中向躲人开价Webster，不过被拒绝。 BA在季前新秀排名把他列在躲人系统中的no.2，只在Zach Lee之後， 他同时也是BA百大新秀中的第95名。 本季在2A的22场先发跟5场後援出赛中缴出3.55 ERA、8.7 K/9和4.2BB/9的成绩， BA认为他的天花板是投球型态类似Derek Lowe的二号先发。 De La Rosa, 23, just returned from Tommy John surgery. He threw a dozen minor league rehab innings before making one relief appearance with the Dodgers earlier this week, but was sent down to Triple-A last night so he could be included in the trade as a player to be named later. Reports indicated that the Blue Jays may have claimed him off waivers, so pulling him back and waiting until the offseason to officially include him gets around that obstacle. De La Rosa made ten starts and three relief appearances for the Dodgers last year, pitching to a 3.71 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in 60 2/3 innings. PitchFX confirms that he can run his fastball into the upper-90s and triple digits. Although Rubby was not eligible for this year's prospect lists, Baseball America considered him the third best prospect in the organization and 90th best prospect in the game prior to 2011. Like Webster, they called him a potential number two starter down the road. 23岁的De La Rosa刚刚开完Tommy John，这星期在小联盟投了几局复建赛， 在昨晚被下放3A，也因此可以以PTBNL的方式被放进交易包裹内。 有消息指出蓝鸟在waivers上claim了他，因此技术上必须先将他撤下waivers， 季末再正式把他送到袜袜。 De La Rosa去年在躲人先发十场跟後援三场， 在60 2/3局中缴出3.71 ERA、8.9 K/9、4.6 BB/9的成绩。 PitchFX的资料显示他的速球能够飙到三位数。 BA在2011年把他排在躲人系统的no.3、百大新秀第九十名。 跟Webster一样，BA认为De La Rosa在未来有机会成为二号先发。 The Red Sox have developed two above-average starting pitchers in Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz in recent years, but they whiffed on free agent contracts to John Lackey and (to a lesser extent) Daisuke Matsuzaka. Only two of their top ten prospects coming into the season were pitchers, and number four prospect Anthony Ranaudo has only thrown 37 2/3 innings due to injury this summer. They surrendered Casey Kelly to acquire Gonzalez last offseason, however 2011 first rounder Matt Barnes has since emerged as one of the best pitching prospects in the game. Boston's starting rotation has pitched to a 4.88 ERA this season, fourth worst in the AL and fifth worst in all of baseball. Not all prospects work out, but adding Webster and De La Rosa to Barnes gives the Red Sox some much-needing top-shelf pitching depth in the upper minors. 最近几年袜袜已经养出Lester、Buchy两位平均以上的先发， 但他们也在发球机、Dice-K的合约上尝到了苦果。 农场季前的top 10中只有两位是投手， 排第四的Ranaudo因伤本季只投了37 2/3局， 尽管11年第1轮Matt Barnes已逐渐成为最好的SP新秀之一， 但袜袜在上季的A-Gon交易中也付出了前农场头号SP，Casey Kelly。 袜袜本季的先发投手群缴出了4.88的ERA，是AL倒数第四、全联盟倒数第五。 不是每个新秀都能长出来，不过加入Webster跟De La Rosa之後， 袜袜农场前段轮值的深度获得了良好的填补。 The two other pieces of the trade - Jerry Sands and Ivan De Jesus - project to be role players. The 24-year-old Sands is a right-handed hitting corner outfielder/first baseman who has hit .244/.325/.376 with four homers in 251 plate appearances with the Dodgers over the last two seasons. His big Triple-A numbers (.291/.363/.557 since last year) are somewhat inflated due to a hitter-friendly park in Albuquerque. Like De La Rosa, Sands was not prospect-eligible this year but Baseball America did consider him the team's sixth best prospect prior to 2011. There is some concern about his ability to hit right-handed pitching long-term - .589 OPS vs. RHP and .904 OPS vs. LHP in his limited big league time - but Fenway Park should boost his offensive output. He'll give the Red Sox some flexibility at three of the four corner spots. 交易里的配菜Sands跟De Jesus则被预期是role player的角色， 24岁的角落外野手/一垒手 Sands，过去两季在躲人的251打席中打出.244/.325/.376， 他杰出的3A数字（.291/.363/.557）部份得益於打者天堂Albuquerque的加持。 Sands在11年被BA列为躲人系统的no.6。 在Major的短暂时间里，对右投.589 的OPS与对左投.904 OPS有很大的落差， 但Fenway Park对打者有利的特性可以提昇他攻击上的产出。 他能够在角落位置给袜袜一些阵容上的弹性（译按：作为Salty在1B的Platoon夥伴？）。 De Jesus, 25, missed the start of this season with an oblique injury and has been up and down the last two years. He's hit .231/.282/.277 in 72 big league plate appearances and .301/.354/.416 in over 1,200 Triple-A plate appearances since the start of 2010. Again, those minor league numbers are inflated a bit by the offensive environment in Albuquerque. Baseball America ranked him as the team's 26th best prospect before the season in their Prospect Handbook, where they noted his ability to play three infield positions. With Nick Punto on his way to Los Angeles and Will Middlebrooks injured, De Jesus will provide some infield depth for the time being. 25岁的De Jesus因为斜纹肌手术错过了这个球季初，在这两年也显得沉寂。 在大联盟的72个打席中只缴出.231/.282/.277的成绩， 不过从10年开始，在超过1200个3A打席中打出.301/.354/.416， 同样的，他的3A数据部份得益於打者天堂Albuquerque的加持。 BA在本季将他列为躲人系统的no.26，他能够守内野的三个位置（2B、3B、SS）， 在Punto被送到LA、中川受伤的情况下，他能够提供一些内野的深度。 （译按：国外乡民说他其实就是年轻便宜版的Punto） The big prize for the Red Sox is all the freed-up payroll, but the trade was not just a pure salary dump. Webster and De La Rosa have the potential to be impact big leaguers and both Sands and De Jesus should be able to carve out a niche at the Major League level. Three of four prospects figure to see time with Boston next month, and Webster should be in consideration for a job at some point next season. The Dodgers were able to swing all of their midseason trades without surrendering Lee and 2011 first rounder Chris Reed, a benefit to their willingness to absorb money. Boston essentially hit the reset button financially, all while adding some quality prospects in the process. 对於袜袜来说，这笔交易的最大收获是解放了薪资空间， 但这笔交易并不是纯粹的salary dump。 Webster跟De La Rosa都有机会成为具影响力的大联盟球员， Sands跟De Jesus则有机会在MAJOR层级作出一些贡献， 其中Webster更有机会在明年球季中就上来观光。 躲人在有能力吃大合约的优势下，没有动到Zach Lee跟11年第1轮 Chris Reed， 就完成了全部的季中交易（Hanley、Chaote、Victorino、League跟这笔）， 而袜袜基本上是在按下重新启动按钮的同时，也在过程中获得了一些有品质的新秀。 --
