He was 46-24 in 4 years for us, yes, with a 3.84 ERA. He was also making 31 million a year.
He opted out of 2020 and pitched very little in 2021 and 2022. He wouldn't have been much help if we kept him.

But it's obvious the Sox had to trade Mookie. That was getting done one way or the other.
I think mvp is right that getting them to take Price simply lessened the return.
