I am wondering how the Sox could rationalize trading Moncada at this point.
I am no expert on how these contracts work, but didn't the Sox just pay him a $30. mil bonus? Have they paid it in it's entirety or are installments being made? Either way, trading him would be like flushing all that money away.
And what of the penalties the Sox paid for signing Moncada?
Trading him away after dropping $60.mil on him would seem really, really stupid.
But what the f*** do I know?
