That is one of several reasonable interpretations.

 

Last year at High A, Marcus Wilson struck out in 28.1 percent of his 502 plate appearances en route to a wRC+ of 84:

Save that 800k off the cap though...

Wilson is probably a speed merchant at 6-3 175. If he makes it to the bigs, Sale will have a team-mate almost as thin as his 6-6 180. (both weights are probably slightly inflated)

2 straight wins since the trade. Leon FTW.

Vaz & Leon no longer have to look over their shoulder.

 

The trade will mark the turning point and the major difference maker of the season.

To be precise, the Red Sox save $360,000 if they replace Blake Swihart's 2019 salary of $910,000 with another player's league-minimum salary of $550,000.
