worth pointing out, the Padres system is highly regarded and often referred to as the deepest in baseball. According to MLB Pipeline their 7th and 8th best prospects are both in the individual top 100 (top 80 to be exact).
I don't think you are going to get much more than that for Stroman. That's probably better return than Paxton netted the Mariners and I think he's the better pitcher.
