Careful, we're going to bring S5 Dewey out of hiding.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
I have no problem whatsoever calling Boston a winner in two trades for players who made huge contributions to winning the World Series. In exchange, the Red Sox gave up a back-up infielder and a relief pitcher.
Plus, just because we don't state the other team won, too, doesn't mean it's not so, or that we disagree with that perspective.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Sometimes both teams win.

Yess, and it's hard to judge, sometimes, because one team might be on a very restricted budget, so getting someone like Beeks at a fraction of the cost of Eovaldi and with many years of cheap team control in a big win, for them, but maybe wouldn't be for a team like the Sox.

Manny and minor leaguers (Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen) for Jason Bay
Not an overly great win for either side, but I'm pleased with what we got out of Bay, especially since the careers of Moss and Hansen never really materialized
Well, the concept of "winning" does go hand in hand with the concept of "losing", usially on the opposite side of the same contest/match/game whatever. Trades are more difficult, because it can work out for both sides but that doesn't necessarily equate to a tie...
Moss was an All Star...
I feel the return we got was still worth it
Miller for E-Rod was a good trade for the Sox
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
Five and a half years after being traded , Logan Allen has an MLB career record of 3 - 6 , with an ERA of 5.64 . Yet we still have folks checking the box scores daily , hoping that he does well so they can post a sarcastic " Thanks , Dave ."
Old school is good school.
Never heard of a win-win situation?

If I gave you four cans of tomato soup in exchange for your Cadillac, you might say I overpaid because I could have gotten a half decent car for just three cans of soup . But in the end , I got the Cadillac and you got the tomato soup. I think I made out pretty well in the deal.
