My point is exactly that, trade the bottom guys in the rotation for rentals. They have young guys close and they have young starters in triple a that are ready. The civale trade didn’t accomplish my goal, not that I was expecting it to. Do you think the team wouldn’t be better off if they traded Quintana to make way for Henderson? Patrick is a different case because of how much control he has, you can’t trade a rental for him.
demoting civale did decrease his value because it was in the brewers best interest to move him asap, I bet you that if civale pitches better or as well as he pitched here, the Sox will flip for better value than Vaughn
