    Not enough to make me pine for keeping him, and the biggest reason for the deal was to shed CC and Beckett's contracts.

    It was a good choice "letting him go." We won a ring, afterwards, thanks partly to the money freed up by that trade.

    Good thing the Sox won a ring because the Dodgers gave us back NOTHING in that deal. The best player we got back turned out to be James Loney…

    The salary relief was mammoth. Couldn't have expected much from the talent dregs they threw in to call it a "trade".
    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.

    The salary releif worked wonders.

    Even if we get to .500, odds are we have a fire sale.

    The only guy I'm sure won't be jettisoned is Devers.

    Why is that? If you are going to have a fire sale I would think he'd bring back the biggest haul.

    Of course he would. But:

    a) I think there's a very good chance they sign him to an extension, with all the money that's coming off the books.
    b) The current ownership has always shown some sense of trying to please the fans. They know a fire sale will piss off a lot of people. Including Devers in it would be torch and pitchfork stuff. If they're going to do that they might as well sell the team. And I don't think that's the plan.
