Prospects traded by the Red Sox since 2005


Earlier this week, I took a look at which prospects the Red Sox might make available at the trade deadline. For an idea of what types of "prospects" the club has traded in the past, here's a list of minor leaguers that Boston has traded over the last seven years, sorted chronologically by the date of the trade (along with 2012 stats as of July 26). Note that this list does not include the full-fledged major leaguers that the team dealt during that time period or the minor leaguers that Boston sent to other teams in exchange for cash considerations.

Ultimately, a handful of traded Red Sox prospects have gone on to become impact major leaguers, including Hanley Ramirez, Josh Reddick, David Murphy, Justin Masterson, and Anibal Sanchez.  (Admittedly, Masterson was essentially already a full-fledged major leaguer by the time he was traded).  Among this group are also a few prospects with promising futures, including  Anthony Rizzo, Miles Head, Tim Federowicz, Casey Kelly, and Nick Hagadone.
