a potential J.T. Realmuto trade?"Do not let prospect ranking fool
you—the 6-foot-3 outfielder has equivalent tools to that of most Top 50
prospects. A 55-hit tool and 60-grade power is more than enough to make him a
centerpiece of any Rays’ package. The caveat with is his need for better
plate discipline and strike zone recognition. He drew only 26 walks in 488 plate
appearances last
summer
B.J.
Upton Jersey , a 5.3 percent rate.However, in only his age-21 season, the
projectability of is as enticing as any of the previously discussed
prospects throughout this series. Defensively, profiles as a corner
outfielder, as his arm and range are both considered average at-best.The Rays
system is amongst the best in baseball. If the reports of their interest in
acquiring Realmuto are correct—similar to the Braves—they have the talent and
depth to do so. The depth in their system is the key. Tampa Bay can offer
multiple tier 2 prospects from their system, which would be equivalent to higher
prospects in competing farms. The Marlins would be wise to take Tampa’s interest
as significant. There is no rush to make a deal, as Spring Training is still a
few weeks away. Some other names who could be considered centerpieces or very
strong secondaries: #64 Vidal Brujan, #93 Brandon Lowe, #56 Ronaldo Hernandez,
Lucius Fox, Matthew Liberatore. ATLANTA (AP) — Ian Kinsler describes Boston’s
lineup as “electric.”Now that he’s back on track following his return from a
hamstring
injury

Kinsler is showing he can add even more spark to the lineup.Kinsler drove in
three runs and the Red Sox continued their interleague success, beating the
Atlanta Braves 8-2 Monday in a matchup of division leaders.Kinsler came off the
disabled list on Aug. 17 after missing 11 games with the injury. He was hitting
well before the injury and now has regained momentum with two or more hits in
four of his last seven games.Asked if it was difficult to find his timing again,
Kinsler said “I want to say no, because I don’t want to make any excuses. … In a
player’s head you think it should happen quick in a day or two.”The Red Sox led
only 3-2 through seven innings before putting the game away.“We can score a lot
of runs early, score a lot of runs late,” Kinsler said. “That’s the great thing
about this team. It can happen at any moment. The thing about this offense is
it’s electric and it can happen quickly.”The Red Sox have won 23 of their last
27 games against National League teams. Boston has the best record in the majors
and is atop the AL East.Kinsler hit a two-out, two-run single in the eighth
after a throwing error by first baseman Freddie Freeman prolonged the inning,
making it 5-2. Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run single as Boston scored three times
in the ninth off Bryse Wilson.“The two-out error hurt, obviously, but I liked
our chances before that,” said Braves manager Brian Snitker.Boston scored three
runs in the fifth off Braves rookie Touki
Toussaint
Jason
Kipnis Jersey , making only his second start in the majors. Consecutive
doubles by Eduardo Nunez, Kinsler and Christian Vazquez off Toussaint (1-1) in
the fifth gave the Red Sox a 2-0 lead. Mookie Betts added an RBI single with two
outs to finish Toussaint.Boston right-hander Nate Eovaldi started only two days
after his last start against the White Sox was shortened by rain to two
innings.“It was definitely different,” Eovaldi said. “I needed to step up and
try to go as deep as I could in the ballgame. Unfortunately it was only into the
fourth inning.”Eovaldi issued four walks, including three in the first, but did
not allow a run in 3 1/3 innings. His previous season high for walks in a game
was two.Brandon Workman (3-0) recorded two outs after replacing Eovaldi in the
fourth. Ozzie Albies led off the sixth with his 22nd homer against Joe Kelly.A
sellout crowd of 40,394 included a strong turnout by Red Sox fans.TRAINER’S
ROOMRed Sox: 3B Rafael Devers (strained left hamstring) will join the team on
Tuesday, a day after completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket. …
Manager Alex Cora said LHP David Price (bruised left wrist) believes he could
start against the Braves on Wednesday. But the Red Sox will avoid having Price
swing a bat. Price instead may start in Friday’s opening game of a home series
against Houston. Cora said he had not decided on Wednesday’s starter.Braves:
RHPs Arodys Vizcaino and Jose Ramirez, each recovering from right shoulder
inflammation, threw back-to-back scoreless innings in rehab stints with Triple-A
Gwinnett.RISP WOESThe NL East-leading Braves loaded the bases in the first,
fourth and seventh innings. Kurt Suzuki’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the
seventh produced the only run from those chances as Atlanta was 1-for-12 with
runners in scoring position.HOME AGAININF Brandon Phillips, who had a successful
Atlanta homecoming with the Braves in
2017

when he hit .291, will return again on Tuesday when he will be recalled from
Pawtucket by the Red Sox. Phillips attended Redan High School in Stone Mountain,
Georgia, in the metro Atlanta area.Phillips, 37, hit .302 in 38 games with
Pawtucket.GLOVE WORKNick Markakis made two strong defensive plays in right
field, catching a foul ball hit by J.D. Martinez against the wall in the fifth
and making a sliding catch of Betts’ sinking liner in the right-center gap in
the ninth.UP NEXTRed Sox: RHP Rick Porcello (15-7, 4.27) is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA
in three career starts against Atlanta. He has a 20-8 record in 39 career
interleague game.Braves: LHP Sean Newcomb (11-7, 3.85) will try to reverse his
downturn after posting an 8.48 ERA in his last four starts. He allowed six runs
in four innings in a loss to the Rays in his last start.
