David Ortiz: Best "Player to be Named Later" in MLB History

David Ortiz, aka 'Big Papi,' was a throw-in on a trade deal in 1996, making him the most famous Player to be Named Later in MLB history. As told by ESPN Baseball Tonight analyst Tim Kurkjian. Papi was traded from the Seattle Mariners to the Minnesota Twins and was signed by the Boston Red Sox as a free agent in 2003. After that, the rest is history as a home run derby champion, King of Clutch, Mr Grand Slam. From the Dominican Republic. Career Highlights: 3 time World Series champion (2004, 2007, 2013) World Series MVP (2013) AL Championship Series MVP (2004) 10 time All-Star (2004–2008, 2010–2013, 2016) AL home run leader (2006) 2 time AL RBI leader (2005, 2006) 6 time Silver Slugger Award (2004–2007, 2011, 2013) 7 time Edgar Martínez Award (2003–2007, 2010, 2013) 500 home run club TRANSCRIPT Pat Gillick: Phillies team president (6 seconds covering part of Gillick) You would make a deal for a player to be named later, which gives the club selling or trading the player more time to see what they’re going to get in return Walt Jocketty: Red general manager You know your return is not going to be great, so you ask for a player to be named later and hopefully the offseason the fans forget about the trade (laughs) Tim Kurkjian, ESPN: “The Player to be named later” in a baseball trade is often a throw-in minor leaguer, much like Crash Davis in “Bull Durham” However, in a few cases of those “Players to Be Named Later”, some have become major contributors in the big leagues… Pat Gillick: Phillies team president sometimes a club doesn’t want to give up a major league player or a AAA player so you have to go deeper into the system Walt Jocketty: Reds general manager They’re usually lower lever prospects which are not big names at the time who do tend to develop into a better prospect. Kenny Rogers struggled in Yankee pinstripes and he was shipped to the A’s on November 7th, 1997. Ten days later, Scott Brosius was sent to New York to complete the deal. Brosius batted .300 in his first season with the Yankees, made the All-Star team for the first and only time, homered twice in Game 3 of the World Series that year, and won the World Series MVP. Bill Madden: Kenny Rogers was a very good pitcher, just not in NY, they had to get him out of there they got rid of someone they couldn’t use and got someone who was a key contributor on those championship teams and Brian Cashman could basically tip his hat for that trade Two weeks prior to a player’s strike in 1994, Dave Winfield was traded from the Twins to the Indians for a player to be named later. But Winfield never played in a game for Cleveland. The strike forced the cancellation of the season, and no player was ever named to complete the transaction. To settle the deal, executives from the two teams went to a steak dinner. The Indians picked up the check. In 1996, the Twins traded David Hollins to the Mariners, quite literally, for a player to be named later, an unknown slugging first baseman, slash designated hitter … Dan Shaughnessy: Boston Globe columnist - He had a different last name, he came to the Twins as David Arias. Tim Kurkjian, ESPN: David Arias changed teams and he would also change his name…To David Ortiz… Dan Shaughnessy: David Ortiz came to the Twins one year in spring training and Tom Kelly asked him if he had gotten married in the offseason… After 6 seasons the Twins released Ortiz and the Red Sox picked him up… Now, over 500 homers later, as well as three championships and a World Series MVP, David Ortiz is the most famous player to be named later of all time.
