Only AJ Preller knows for sure.
I'm not even sure the Sox could actually get the package I proposed. All I can tell you is it does work out using the valuation system on baseballtradevalues.com. But any team can label any player immovable or have a much higher value on any prospect for whatever reason. And it fits the package that Matt Cerrone (who is not affiliated with the Red Sox in any way) says they want.
Now, accroding to baseballtradevalues, Margot has slightly less surplus value than Franchy Cordero, so he could be an acceptable substitution. Or if the Sox could eliminate Quantrill, they could get better prospects, like 1B Josh Naylor and one of LHP Adrian Morejon or C Luis Campusano.
I actually prefer Cordero to Margot. But I can see the merit to either choice...

Joe Mauer posted fWAR valued at $96.7 million in the first four years of his eight-year, $178 million contract while David Price has posted fWAR valued at $85 million in the first four years of his seven-year, $217 million contract.
One player came closer than the other to meeting his contract in the first four years.
