Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 5297366, member: 25"] So, three trades where the Sox gave up Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers. 1) For Betts they got Alex Verdugo (played 4 years and traded for Richard Fitts, Greg Weissert and Nicholas Judice). 2) For Bogaerts, they let him walk in FA. Maybe not the star they thought but a career .287 hitter. 3) For Devers, they got LHP Kyle Harrison, RHP Jordan Hicks, OF James Tibbs, and RHP Jose Bello. All with some promise but appear to be pretty far from contributing in the bigs (I believe). I'm honestly not trying to stir the pot, but as a Mets fan who lived through terrible ownership/GM's, these moves are not moves you make to contend as a top tier franchise. They're money dumps that don't make you better on the field. [/QUOTE]
