Report: Padres will only move Ross for 'monster package'

The San Diego Padres have already traded relievers Joaquin Benoit and Craig Kimbrel to the Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox, respectively, and right-hander Tyson Ross could be the next pitcher to depart, though the cost for teams showing interest will reportedly be steep.

San Diego would consider trading the 28-year-old, but only in exchange for a "monster package," according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

The former second-round pick could provide interested parties with an intriguing top-of-the-rotation option if they fail to land one of the biggest free agents on the open market.

PLAYER W-L ERA WHIP SO STATUS
David Price 18-5 2.45 1.08 225 FA
Zack Greinke 19-3 1.66 0.84 200 FA
Johnny Cueto 11-13 3.44 1.13 176 FA
Jeff Samardzija 11-13 4.96 1.29 163 FA
Tyson Ross 10-12 3.26 1.31 212 SDP

The older brother of Washington Nationals right-hander Joe Ross is under club control for two more seasons and is projected to earn $10 million in arbitration, according to MLB Trade Rumors.

Ross was also impressive away from the friendly pitching confines of Petco Park last season, posting a 6-3 record with a 2.83 ERA in 17 road starts, while his ERA rose to 3.70 at home.
