I would hope that if they're dealing Carlson or Bonemer, they're getting somebody way better than Holmes or Detmers. I think stocking the system with 3 high-ceiling prep bats and a handful of college power bats allows them to loosen their grip on guys like Bergolla, Shelton or even Wolkow (Zavala, if anyone cares?).

You’re only trading top 5 prospects for elite names. Please. Nightengale said we won’t be stupid.

If the Sox can keep stocking and developing the minors they can move those players like the Dodgers do to sustain the line up.

Having to trade elite #1 starters like Sale and Crochet because the cupboard was bare was painful.

Hopefully we start seeing results on the international signings.

What about this Boston Smith fella? Any real value there as a trade side piece?

No long term evidence of that yet.
