The Padres and Blue Jays have undeniable depth issues in their farm systems, but both brought pure impact players into their systems on the eve of the Winter Meetings.

For the Padres, the package was more significant, as they received Casey Kelly (pictured above), Anthony Rizzo and Reymond Fuentes in exchange for Adrian Gonzalez. In a smaller deal, Toronto may have stolen prospect Brett Lawrie from the Brewers in exchange for Shaun Marcum.

In both cases, despite giving up big parts of their big-league rosters, the sellers have to be extremely pleased with their respective prospect hauls.
