OMG! You think you suggesting trades that never happen is a measuring stick of something. They never happen for a reason, and usually your trade suggestions are just trying to pawn players off you don’t want, and nor would the other teams, and that’s why they never happen, or would happen. Are you trying to say that now that the team is over 500, and at present time in a wildcard spot is a reason to change someone’s mind. It certainly is to me, and from what I’ve been hearing it’s changed a lot of minds in RSN, and it doesn’t take too much at least for some to see that. Also plenty of fans in RED Sox Nation were bashing brezLOW when the team had sunk to 14 games under 500, so I don’t know what kind of point you’re trying to make there, but you DIDNT make one.
