Thanks for this list. Besides the gem that is Whitlock (imagine when he masters his curve), I am most intrigued by Winckowski. I also wonder if Downs sticks at short, since that is where they played him during ST... btw, I think Lugo came pre-Bloom, through the Beltran-Cora connection.
Also the PTBNL from the Mets should also be a very intriguing one, as Khalil Lee was regarded as a very solid prospect and therefore likely demands a very solid one in return. I'm guessing J.T. Ginn. But I doubt we see anyone named until the 6 month deadline gets very near...

In May, Red Sox 2019 fourth-rounder Noah Song is eligible to seek an early release from active duty with the Navy in exchange for a six-year commitment to the Naval Reserve.
As of right now there no updates and the Red Sox are continuing to support him in flight school.
Last I heard was that May was the earliest he could get out, but that he's not fast tracked his workload that way. Maybe he'll get a peak towards the end of the season, but it's more likely we don't see him until 2022.
