Dodgers trade Leody Taveras, OF
to the Padres for Will Smith, C
Reasoning:
I have quite a few OF prospects and many of them are much closer to the majors and have a higher floor, if not ceiling, than Taveras. Will Smith gives me one of the top catching prospects, but also is increasing his positional flexibility. I like what he did in the AFL and so far this season. He’s also a little closer to the majors than Taveras.

Interesting trade. Taveras is a solid prospect, and someone I studied a lot, especially since deciding whether or not to trade him. His floor scares me a little bit, but the upside is definitely there! Trading from a strength to a weakness is usually a good idea, and looks like he traded ceiling for floor at a premium position. Makes sense for both teams. +2 Padres, just for the ceiling of Taveras.

Simply put I think Taveras is a better prospect...but not by a lot, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
