A's NYY RHP Sonny Gray <--> OF Dustin Fowler 1.5M international bonus SS/CF Jorge Mateo RHP James Kaprielian http://www.sfgate.com/athletics/article/Prospects-from-Sonny-Gray-trade-should-bolster-11721863.php Fowler, 22, tore a knee ligament one inning into his big-league debut this year, but he is expected to be ready for spring training and will be on the big-league roster. Kaprielian, 23, is coming off Tommy John surgery and should be throwing by next month and potentially pitching in games before the middle of next season. Beane said that the team completed exhaustive medical reviews on both; he doesn’t believe either would have been available had they not been injured. “The acquisitions here were meant for the long term, which is why, had we been in a different spot in our development, we might not have considered somebody like Kaprielian with the Tommy John surgery,” said Beane, who noted that Oakland planned to take the UCLA right-hander in the first round of the 2015 draft at No. 20 overall, but the Yankees, who picked 16th, beat them to him. “So I think that was us saying, ‘Look, we know this is going to take time, let’s take the best talent available, and we’re willing to wait.’” (Mateo)“This sounds really simple: He’s really fast,” Beane said when asked what the A’s liked about Mateo. “We’ve been sitting on the Yankees the last couple weeks, and he just kept rising up the list. He’s an explosive athlete. He’s played a little bit of center over there with the Yankees, but he’s also proven himself to be adept with the glove, too. Just an explosive athlete, he can really do a lot of things on the bases. A nice guy to have in the center of the diamond.” BA http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/yankees-get-sonny-gray-athletics-get-mateo-fowler-kaprielian To acquire Gray, the Yankees paid two high-upside players in outfielder Dustin Fowler and righthander James Kaprielian who have dealt with serious injuries this season and a former top prospect in Jorge Mateo who has regained some fans over the last month after a monthlong rejuvenation at Double-A Trenton. Fowler and Kaprielian both have high ceilings—Fowler could be an everyday center fielder and Kaprielian a mid-rotation starter—and Mateo could be sparkplug- type shortstop at the top of the lineup. Jorge Mateo, ss/cf Age: 22 Once the top prospect in the Yankees' system, Mateo's prospect sheen took a bit of hit over the past couple of seasons while he struggled over parts of three seasons in the Florida State League. Moreover, his makeup was called into question when he was suspended for two weeks after a spat with a Yankees official over not being promoted as quickly as he'd like. Apparently he's much happier in the Northeast, where he's turned it on over the last month since moving to Double-A Trenton. With the Thunder, Mateo has thrived, slashing .300/.381/.525 with four home runs, 26 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. He's got some power, but he's better suited to slash and dash with his 80-grad speed. He's played center field and shortstop with Trenton, but scouts who have seen him prefer him at shortstop in the long-term. Part of the reason he was playing center field in the first place revolved around the Yankees' long line of shortstops, including current Yankee Didi Gregorius and top prospect Gleyber Torres. Dustin Fowler, of Age: 22 Arguably the biggest riser in the Yankees' system this year, Fowler spent all season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre showing off a tantalizing mix of tools. He's got well above-average speed that he utilizes both on the basepaths in center field, where he's a plus defender. He makes plenty of contact (which offsets his lack of walks) and can turn singles into doubles and doubles into triples (he's got 23 of them over his last two seasons). He's also got enough pop to hit double-digit home runs as well. Fowler made his major league debut this year, but during his first game ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee. He had surgery that day and is expected to miss 12-18 months recovering. James Kaprielian, rhp Age: 22 The Yankees took Kaprielian in the first round of the 2015 draft and immediately saw an uptick in stuff. He went from sitting in the low 90s at UCLA to living in the mid-90s and touching as high as 98 as a professional. With that uptick in stuff, however, came injury issues. He missed all but three starts in the 2016 regular season with elbow issues, then dazzled in the Arizona Fall League. He pitched in spring training this year but the elbow troubles cropped up again and he had Tommy John surgery in April. At his best, he brings a four-pitch mix, with the slider and changeup his two best offspeed pitches and a curveball in his back pocket as well. He should be back sometime next year.
