You trade Quintana because a)is value is determinable; b)it would be selling high for a change; c)the Sox have a lot of young arms.
Trading for Frazier is the precise type of move the Sox should NOT make. He's not a good defender (despite the metrics), he's approaching 30, and he's having a career year. I should say "was" as he's been absolutely horrible since July. Plus you'd have him for only 2 more years.
Sox don't need an all star. Get a good young 3B; and trading Quintana, you could get that and a couple of really good prospects (or maybe a catcher).
I 'm against trading Q but if push came to shove I'd love to get Kang and Polanco from the Pirates.
