WARNING: I AM VERY ELABORATIVE

Angels get a good prospect package as they are trying to improve their farm system. Genesis Cabrera is a future back end starter but has some good stuff. Randolph could be the future left fielder. Rhys Hoskins could also be the future first baseman. He hit 38 HR With about 115 RBI Last year. They also get 2 solid pitchers in Odorizzi and Thompson.

The Phillies do give up some of their prospects, but they get 3 pretty good pitchers. Alex Cobb could give them a solid bounce back year. Before he got hurt, he was an ace. They get 2 young pitchers in Tyler Skaggs who has lots of potential. The Phillies do not have a left handed starter. Cam Bedrosian is a solid pitcher to have in the bullpen.

The Rays are looking to find another right handed hitter and CJ Cron could be a fit. If not, they could get Jefry Marte. Cron is underrated IMO. He can hit for average and has 20 HR Power. That is the hitter the rays need. They also get Jose Alvarez who is a nice lefty addition to the bullpen. From the Phillies, they get Mark Appel. He is ready to pitch in the big leagues and would be a nice option if he can stay healthy. Andrew Knapp gives the Rays their future catcher since the Phils right now have Jorge Alfaro as the future backstop.

This may be a bit too much but what are your opinions?

There is almost zero chance the Rays move Odorizzi for that package.

Also, I'm laughing at this phrase: "The Rays are looking to find another right handed hitter and CJ Cron could be a fit. If not, they could get Jefry Marte. "

You could get a t-bone, or bologna. It's all the same.

Don't know if you missed it or what expos, but they are moving odorizzi and cobb for that package. Horrible trade for the rays.

The Angels aren't giving up enough to receive a return like that. The Phillies are giving up to much and getting little in return. And the Rays give up to much and get little in return.
