In that case, Margot can be considered a 4th OF and not a big loss in that trade since we know how he turned out. Trade seems fine in retrospect to me.Originally Posted by notin

And I don't really disagree with that. But if that was a Red Sox move, giving up Gleyber Torres plus other players of value for a rental of a closer, we'd never hear the end of it - title or not.
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 remember many mentioning Allen.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
One title in the 2000's , and not much else ? What other high spending teams in the 2000's did not even get that ? Try the LA Dodgers. Even the Marlins, Royals, Diamondbacks, Phillies and White Sox achieved the one title, but no follow through. 13 different teams won it in the 2000's, even the Yankees twice. Only one team won it 4 times in the last 20 seasons. Time for a new decade
Good Post
Think die hard Yankee fans are doing back flips for getting to the AL Championships? Nope (I wouldn't be)
How about them Cubs? They won it all a year early, they had the GM and Manager of the century. How did that turn out? Looks like their cliff is fast approaching.
Including notin. I was surprised how many people said the Sox traded "four blocked prospects" for Kimbrel. How can an A-ball pitcher be blocked?
Guy who stanned for Denyi Reyes last year, doesn’t know why he was put on 40 man roster last year.
Like giving up Bagwell for Larry Anderson. Except Anderson was no Chapman...
The Sox gave up two top 100 prospects and two other prospects (one of whom did look like he had a low ceiling) for the full value of one of the highest paid closers in the game at the time...
Huh?

If the Sox kept Margot, he might be in line to start in CF next year...
Prospect value at trade time is irrelevant if we need to consider Logan’s current value.
Ewwww
Well so far the only name on the table is Jake Marisnick. If Margot elicits an "Ewwww", whatever Marisnick gets out of you is probably best left untyped.
If the Sox are determined to go cheap at the position, they could easily do A LOT worse than Manny Margot...
I wasn't considering Logan's current value. I stick by my complaints at the time of the trade.
Logan's current value just underscores how bad this deal was...
