This could be similar to the Sox and Dodgers of 2012. San Diego gets Duran, but they must also take Masa and Story. The Sox get little to nothing in return except having Masa and Story off their books.
This is true and I'm a big fan of Pythagorean. But I still believe it'll be difficult for the Sox to attain a 78-84 record this season unless they make some positive trades at the deadline.
