I think I’d do this for both teams honestly. They didn’t give up any highly touted prospects. If Santos is for real it’s a steal for them since they’re in contention. Sox didn’t need to take that risk since they’ll be terrible the next 3 years
There for sure was too much Ortiz hate. The only thing I didn't like about him was his age. But if push came to shove and you got an offer of Kjerstad + Ortiz + a good 3rd piece, you'd have to do it. Sounds like nothing close to that was offered.
