When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
For whatever reason , a lot of folks just take a liking to some players and a dislike to others. And that influences their opinions. Objectivity can be hard to come by. It's just human nature , but it is something to try and overcome.
Old school is good school.

One final transaction for the year:
@PeteAbe
#RedSox reinstated RHP Phillips Valdez from the COVID-19 Related Injured List. OF Franchy Cordero was DFA’d.
It should, of course, be noted that the DFA of Cordero hardly closes the book on the Red Sox’ end of the Benintendi deal. The Sox still have four other players to show for that deal, though none has reached the Majors yet. Boston acquired right-hander Josh Winckowski and outfielder Freddy Valdez from the Mets (who received Khalil Lee from Kansas City), in addition to picking up righties Luis De La Rosa and Grant Gambrell from the Royals. Cordero was certainly the most recognizable name going back to Boston in the swap, but he wasn’t necessarily the key player in the deal.
As for Benintendi, he had a fine debut campaign in K.C., slashing .276/.324/.442 (106 wRC+) with 17 home runs, 27 doubles, two triples and eight steals (albeit with a woeful success rate, given his 17 attempts). He’s controllable for one more year via arbitration, with a projected 2022 salary of $9.3MM (courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz). -mlbtr

I've been wrong about a lot of things, and being as opinionated as I am, I've put a lot out there.
One thing I got right from even before day one was putting Kike in CF. The guy has been better than any Sox player I've ever seen in CF.
Here's a great article that shows why...
